On the third day of summer vacation, Tao You walked briskly on the way to the tennis court in the city. It's eight o'clock in the morning, it's the morning rush hour, and it's far from summer vacation time. Students from other schools are still in school. In previous years, No. 1 Middle School was one of the last schools to have vacation, but this time it became the first one. .
The sun was fierce, sweeping away the sweltering heat and humidity that had occupied Weicheng for several days. The wild flowers on the roadside, ranging from purple to white to yellow, bloomed in clumps after clumps and swayed in the wind.
"Xiao Youyou!" Hong Xiqi's bright voice came from the bus passing by.
Tao You took off one of his headphones and looked at the bus heading to the station on the right. The car drove out for some distance, and the car was packed with people. There was no gap left, and bystanders felt suffocated looking at it. Tao You didn't see Hong Xiqi, thinking that he was having a hallucination in happiness. As soon as he put his headphones back on, he saw Hong Xiqi pushing his way out of the crowd at the bus stop, with messy hair and a racket. Being pushed to the ground.
"Why are you here?" Tao You looked at Hong Xiqi, who was arranging her hair in front of her, in surprise.
"It's a hot day, and you don't need to train. It's much cooler at home."
Hong Xiqi lifted up the broken hair from her forehead, put on her hat, raised her head slightly and said, "You three are here, and I'm the only one at home. How boring."
"But I'm really curious, how did you finally convince your mother to let you continue training? I thought you were really going to quit. It's a pity."
Tao You shrugged, "I thought it was completely out of the question."
Last night, Tao You was still worried about whether he could attend training on time today, so he couldn't sleep for half the night, and he woke up early again in the morning. Tao's mother's opposition was like a huge stone, weighing on her chest and making her breathless. \./hand\./machine\./version\./no\./wrong\./first\./post~~
Tao You was eating her breakfast thoughtfully. Just when she didn't know how to ask Mama Tao for a racket and how to convince her to agree, Mama Tao's cell phone rang.
Tao's mother picked up the phone, looked at the caller number, and then looked up at Tao You.
Tao You was flustered for a moment, and the buns in her mouth were tasteless. She guessed that this phone call had something to do with her. She stopped chewing and tilted her head slightly towards Tao's mother, trying to hear who was on the other end of the phone.
Tao's mother saw Tao You's intention, covered her phone, and whispered in a low voice: "Hurry up and finish your breakfast." After saying that, she got up and returned to the master bedroom, locked the door, and chatted with the person on the other end of the phone. His tone also changed completely, becoming polite.
Tao You put down the buns, tiptoed to the door of the master bedroom, and lay on the crack of the door. Her whole face was trying hard to hear what Tao's mother said, but no matter how hard she concentrated, she could only hear a few vague words. a response sound.
——A bedroom door, why should it be so soundproofed? Can't hear anything! Who called? Why is there only an answer sound?
Tao You clicked his tongue softly and frowned with a slight "chuan" character between his eyebrows.
After a while, Tao's mother's footsteps sounded in the bedroom, getting closer and closer to the door. Tao You quickly ran back to the dining table, took a sip of soy milk to calm down, and took a bite of the bun. When Tao's mother unlocked it and came out, she Tsukuru calmly asked, pretending not to care, "Who is it?"
After seeing the tennis racket held by Tao's mother, the premonition in her heart became stronger and stronger. The person who called just now was probably either the head teacher or Coach Tan.
Mother Tao hung the racket bag on the back of the seat, sat down, stirred the slightly settled soy milk with chopsticks, and said, "Teacher Wen."
as expected!
Tao You's palms were sweating nervously. He wiped the tablecloth and wondered why the head teacher might have called. Could it be that he had regressed in the final exam this time?
"After dinner, clean up the house, decide on the subjects you want to choose early, and then go to the bookstore to buy some exercises and materials to preview." Tao's mother calmly assigned Tao You the task.
Tao You watched the hands in the clock move rhythmically, and the sound of "tick-tock-tock" reached her ears. Seeing that the training time was getting closer and closer, Tao You was a little impatient, but still couldn't speak. She was extremely hopeful. Someone can help her at this time.
"Mom, wait a minute..." Tao You mustered up his courage and said.
Tao's mother interrupted Tao You by standing up. After she put the dishes back into the sink, she came out of the kitchen and handed the racket to Tao You.
Look at the eyes. (The next page is more exciting!)
Tao You was flattered and pinched his thigh hard in disbelief. It hurt so much. It was not a dream!
"What, what do you mean?" Tao You asked doubtfully without catching the ball. He had some suspicions in his heart, his heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and the corners of his mouth wanted to raise uncontrollably.
Tao's mother put down her racket, changed her previous attitude, and said, "We're going to have training later. If we don't leave, we'll be late."
"What are you doing standing there, don't forget it." Tao's mother said and wanted to take the racket back.
"I want it!" Tao You quickly took the racket and held it in his arms, smiling as happily as a child who got a lollipop.
Tao's mother couldn't help laughing, but she still didn't forget to remind her: "But as agreed, you can participate in the training camp, and you can't miss the preview and review. You have to get me into the key class for the placement test at the beginning of the school year. Otherwise, I still have to quit the tennis team."
Tao You nodded obediently, packed her schoolbag casually, and hurried out the door without having time to ask Tao's mother why she suddenly changed her mind.
"Tao You! Walk faster, why are you wasting your time!" Coach Tan saw Tao You and Hong Xiqi from a distance, hands on their hips, angrily yelling in their Dantian.
"Hong Xiqi, what are you doing here?"
Tao You and Hong Xiqi ran to the tennis court. As soon as they put down their backpacks, Coach Tan asked in confusion.
"Exercise." Hong Xiqi replied with a smile, and she and Tao You went to the nearby track and field to run laps to warm up.
At noon, Tao You and the others found a small restaurant to eat and rest. While waiting for the food, Hong Xiqi put down her phone and asked hesitantly: "Can you have pets at home?"
"What's wrong?" Gu Yi quickly answered.
Hong Xiqi cleared her throat and said, "My parents finally managed to get it together during the holidays. They said they would take me out for a few days after getting the report card. My aunt at home also happened to be on leave during this time. Croissant , cakes, cream, and egg tarts, no one will take care of them.”
"My close relatives are too busy and have no experience in taking care of pets. We have a normal relationship, so I'm afraid they won't take good care of them. So, I just wanted to ask if you can help me take care of them for a few days."
Gu Yi wanted to help her, but he couldn't help her this time: "My mother is allergic to animal fur, and there are no animals in my house. I shouldn't be able to help with this. w_/a_/p_/\ _/.\_/c\_/o\_/m ”
Hong Xiqi looked at Tao You and Song Yimian expectantly.
"No one in my family has allergies, but I still have to ask my parents first, but it shouldn't be a big problem." Tao You nodded. She still liked Hong Xiqi's two cats and two dogs. As long as Tao's father There is no problem with Tao's mother, and it doesn't matter how long she takes care of her.
Song Yimian thought for a while and said, "Youzai and I will split up. She has no experience. It's too tiring to raise four by herself."
"We are also close, so it is convenient to deal with problems."
Hong Xiqi smiled and clapped her hands: "That's great, thank you! I'll treat you to this meal today!".
