At seven o'clock in the morning, Tao You finished training, went to the locker room, took a quick shower, ate breakfast and entered the classroom, still thinking about the essentials of movements that Coach Tan just told her.
"Tao You, your mother just came and asked me to give you this book." The student sitting first in the first row saw Tao You entering the classroom and stopped her.
Tao You's steps froze, he felt a pounding in his head, blood flowed all over his body, he swallowed the egg in his mouth, and asked worriedly, "My mother is here? What did she say?"
The classmate thought about it and said, "Just let me give you the book and nothing else. Oh, she also asked you where you were."
"How did you answer?" Tao You had a bad feeling in his heart.
"I said you went to tennis training." The classmate said sincerely.
Tao You took the book and returned to his seat in a daze. The tea eggs in his hand also lost their aroma instantly, "It's over, it's over, Hong Xiqi, it's over!"
Hong Xiqi looked up at the door of the classroom, stuffed her phone back into her bag, then turned around and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Tao You's face was full of despair, his mouth twitched, and he said, "My mother may know about my tennis playing."
"Which big mouth said that?" As soon as Hong Xiqi finished speaking, the big mouth sitting at the door sneezed suddenly.
"My mother came to school." Tao You pointed to the books on the table, "I forgot to bring my books."
Hong Xiqi stretched out her hand to caress Tao You's head and said comfortingly: "Oh~, don't be afraid. The worst that can happen is that he will be beaten, lie down for a few days, and then come back and continue playing. Coach Tan will not let him go so easily."
Tao You silently slapped Hong Xiqi's hand away. She knew that Coach Tan would not let him go, but she might not be able to withstand Tao's mother's sharp tongue. It seems that Tao's mother is on holiday today. She won't just think about how to interrogate herself all day long. She thought about the scene she was going to face when she returned home at night, and her face became even more miserable. She couldn't think of any way to deal with it. She rubbed her hair irritably, picked up the tea eggs on the table, and slowly peeled the shells: " Hey, it’s so early in the morning, I’ve lost my appetite.”
"Here..." Hong Xiqi wanted to eat an egg, but she just hadn't eaten enough, but she saw Tao You finished peeling the shell, stuffed the egg into his mouth, and drank another mouthful of soy milk.
"Don't you have lost your appetite?" Hong Xiqi glared slightly, looking at Tao You's ferocious face as he swallowed hard, "Aren't you choking?"
Tao You patted her chest, swallowed the mouthful, and exhaled a long breath, "It's not good anymore, I won't eat it." After she finished speaking, she drank the last sip of soy milk, stood up, and put away the plastic bag with only the egg shells left. There are also soy milk bags thrown into the trash can.
"Give me the racket." Song Yimian returned to the classroom and asked Tao You for the racket as usual.
Tao You glanced at the hand he stretched out, held his chin, shook his head and said, "No, I won't use it in the future."
Song Yimian retracted his hand and frowned slightly, "Who has such a loose mouth?" He said, his eyes scanning Hong Xiqi and Gu Yi sitting at the front table.
The classmate sitting at the door sneezed again, and his deskmate joked, "What's the matter with you? You caught a cold by turning on the air conditioner at night?"
"No," the classmate was also surprised. "It was so windy at night, we didn't even turn on the fan."
Tao You waved his hand and sighed: "My mother came to school to deliver books to me and I only found out."
Song Yi leaned back on the chair with understanding, raised his eyebrows, and opened the English book on the corner of the table, "Oh, then you deserve it."
Tao You turned around and glared at him hatefully, "Can you say something nice?!"
During finals week, the content was repeated every day. Tao You was out of focus almost the whole day, and her homework was not handed in until the last second. She relied on the tips Song Yimian secretly handed her to answer questions in class.
When he got home in the evening, Tao You was mentally prepared at the door. He held the racket bag tightly and opened the door carefully. w_/a_/p_/\_/.\_/c\_/o\_/m
There is no one in the living room, but Tao's mother's slippers are not at the door. She is at home.
Tao You heard the sound of cooking coming from the kitchen, closed the door gently, quickly hid in the room, and put her things away. As soon as she left the room, she heard Tao's mother calling her.
"I'm back, wash your hands and eat."
"Oh." Tao You was frightened and agreed loudly. He secretly patted his chest and took a few deep breaths before walking to the restaurant.
Tao You looked at the overly sumptuous dishes on the table, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he quietly helped bring out the food.
"The evening is so rich, what day is it today?". (The next page is more exciting!)
Dad Tao put down his handbag, washed his hands and came to the table, "Xiaoyou, you will need to eat more of your favorite braised prawns, sweet and sour pork ribs, and spicy and sour potato shreds later. Don't let it down *** Mind."
"Oh." Tao You laughed dryly and put his hands on his knees. He looked at the table full of delicacies and did not dare to take down his chopsticks. He felt that this was a Hongmen banquet and he was about to "hit the road" after eating.
Tao's mother looked at herself with a cold expression and said nothing. Tao's father was eating happily, but he soon noticed the strange atmosphere. He slowly stopped his chopsticks, his mouth full, and turned to look at the mother and daughter sitting on both sides. The food in front of him suddenly didn't smell so good. He tried to break the atmosphere: "Come on, Xiaoyou, I haven't eaten shrimp for a long time. Eat more. Your mother's cooking is so good, you can't eat it every day."
After Tao's father finished serving Tao You, he served Tao's mother: "Honey, you should eat more. It takes a lot of time to cook so many dishes. Thank you for your hard work."
Tao You stuffed the rice into his mouth in small bites. It tasted like chewing wax. He kept looking at Tao's mother who was eating calmly. He didn't know what would happen next. Tao You had always been afraid of unknown things.
After finally finishing the meal, Tao's mother went back to the room to clean up. Tao You was called by Tao's father to help in the kitchen.
"What happened to you and your mother?" Tao's father kept washing the dishes, a little helpless, "I found that after moving back, you and your mother will quarrel about once a week and a half on average. This house is incompatible with you. ?"
Tao You glanced at Tao's father carefully and murmured in a low voice: "Mom went to school this morning and was found playing tennis."
"Playing tennis...caught..." Tao's father felt his temples beating wildly. He closed his eyes to calm down and turned off the faucet, "Why did your mother go to school?"
Tao You also stamped his feet anxiously: "I just saw that I would be late for training in the morning. I was in a hurry to go out and didn't check my schoolbag. My mother saw that I didn't take the books on the table and sent me to school more. But I was not in the classroom at that time. My classmates Just say I'm training on the tennis court..."
"Wait, wait, wait," Tao's father intercepted Tao You's words, "I don't understand why. Aren't your club activities all after school? When did it become morning?"
Tao You picked at the corners of his clothes with his fingers, thinking that he hadn't told Tao's father about joining the tennis team yet, so he hesitated and said: "Some time ago, I just joined the tennis team and I have to train in the morning."
"Tennis team!" Tao's father exclaimed, and as soon as he spoke, he heard Tao's mother's voice appear at the kitchen door.
"Tao Hong! Tao You!" Tao's mother stared at the father and daughter in front of her with sharp eyes, trying to make two holes out of them.
"Tao Hong, do you want to rebel or attack?!" Tao's mother sat in the middle of the sofa, with her hands folded across her chest, squinting at Tao's father who was sitting on the single sofa, "If I don't go to school today, when are you going to tell me I?!"
Tao You stood in front of the coffee table with his hands behind his back, staring down at the patterns on the coffee table, silently listening to the instruction.
Tao's mother continued to type: "What I say is useless in this family, right, Tao You! Tell me, how many times has this happened! You won't learn well after you come back!"
"How many times have I told you not to take part in these things? They will affect your studies, but you don't listen. Look at your grades in the first year of high school. They go up and down. They fluctuate so much. They don't matter at all. It’s not stable, I think it’s probably because of tennis!”
"I'm doing pretty well this semester..." Tao's father tried to speak for Tao You.
"Shut up!" Tao's mother glared at her, and Tao's father was silent for a moment, "You have no right to speak now! I haven't said that you are covering up for her!"
After Tao's mother finished speaking, she paused for a while and then said to Tao You, "I have been very lax about your studies this year. When you usually go out to play, when have I ever stopped you? Don't go to tutoring." You have to prove yourself, and I promised you, but look at what you have done!"
"I don't think playing tennis will delay my study." Tao You retorted in a low voice. It's true that anything can be related to study.
Tao's mother patted the coffee table hard. Tao You shivered in fright and felt a cramp in her calf.
"How did you get the racket?" Tao's mother took a deep breath and asked, continuing the torture.
"Get it from the utility room.\./hand\./machine\./version\./no\./wrong\./first\./issue~~"
Tao's mother was extremely angry and shouted: "You got it, you have the nerve to say so." (The next page is more exciting!)
Well, did you get my consent? You took the key to the utility room without telling me. That's stealing! "Tao's mother became more and more serious as she spoke, and Tao You's eyes gradually became moist.
"It's not that serious. w_/a_/p_/\_/.\_/c\_/o\_/m" Tao's father said, but was completely ignored.
Tao's mother pointed at Tao You, "Where did you learn these bad habits from?"
"Other than your dad, who else knows that I don't let you play tennis?" Tao's mother's intuition told her that there must be someone else who knew.
"Hong Xiqi, Gu Yi, Song Yimian, Song Xiaoan." Tao You's voice became softer and softer, becoming increasingly blurry, and even she could hardly hear her clearly.
Mother Tao didn't say anything. For a moment, the atmosphere in the living room was so tense that neither Father Tao nor Tao You dared to say a word, "Unite hide it from me." Mother Tao suddenly calmed down, "Tao You, you have such a big face. Pulling in so many people to help you hide it."
"I'm too lazy to talk to you. I'll think about it myself. I'll go to school tomorrow and tell your teacher that I'm going to quit the tennis team. If you don't tell me, I'll go!"
Tao You looked at Tao's father for help, "Mom, no, there is a competition in October..."
"So?! This has nothing to do with you!" Tao's mother sternly dismissed Tao You's thoughts, "A student's duty is to study, and participating in so many useless competitions will only waste time! If you don't say so, I Go talk." After saying that, Tao's mother got up and went back to the bedroom and closed the door.
"Dad, it's really not possible. My grades this semester have obviously been very good." Tao You was restless. She knew that Tao's mother was a person who kept her word. If she didn't say it, she would definitely come forward in person, "You Go talk to mom about it, I’m really preparing for this competition.”
Tao's father didn't know what to say, "It's too much. Just join the tennis club, why did you join the team?"
Tao You sniffed, "Our coach came to see me. Because there were not enough people in the women's team, I didn't agree at first. Then he came to me many times, and I was already interested, so I agreed."
Tao's father's focus gradually swayed: "Your coach values you very much and has looked for you many times?"
Tao You nodded wildly, "He said that I am progressing quickly and have great talent. Moreover, if I win a prize in the competition, I can get extra points in the college entrance examination, and I can get extra points by joining the team."
Tao's father took a sip of tea, touched his chin, thought for a while, and comforted Tao You, "Okay, it's getting late. Go back to your room. Your mother's side, I'll take care of it. You should be more obedient lately and don't do too much anymore." It’s something.”
