Thinking that Song Yimian had not yet decided where to celebrate the New Year this year, and fireworks were not allowed in the city, I took a photo and sent it to him to make him jealous.
"You are only half a year old now," Tao's father saw that Tao You didn't choose, so he picked her out himself. "Fireworks are not allowed to be set off in the city, and they are only set off in the countryside for two days during the New Year. You can have more fun. , relax, I will be even busier next semester.”
"Boss, how much do these cost?" Tao's father pointed to a pile of fireworks of different sizes and shapes at his feet and asked the boss, "They are a little cheaper."
"It's already very cheap, and it's even cheaper?! I didn't charge you for these two bags of fireworks," the boss chewed gum and refused to let go. "No matter how cheap it is, I won't make any money!"
Dad Tao freed one hand to take out his cell phone and compromised, "Okay, okay."
The owner of the fireworks shop was kind enough to help load the fireworks into the car, and smiled and welcomed them back next time.
His overly attentive appearance made him look like he had just made a fortune.
They seem to have been tricked...
Looking at the fireworks that filled more than half of the trunk, Tao You couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He could already imagine what Tao's mother would say when she saw such old fireworks.
——————————————————————————————
On the way home, Tao You sat in the back seat, stuffing the oranges he just bought into his mouth while looking out the window at the snow-capped mountain tops and the different colors of plum blossoms dotted on the mountainside.
On the bare mountains, there are only neatly arranged plum blossom trees. The small plum blossoms are vying to bloom in clusters and patches, making these mountains look colder and more aloof.
Cars passed by quickly, white, red, yellow and pink, which made people dazzled for a while.
Tao You held an orange in one hand and a mobile phone in the other to record the scenery outside the window.
"I read the weather forecast and said it might snow on New Year's Eve." Tao's father looked up at the rearview mirror, slowed down the car, and spoke abruptly.
--snow? !
Tao You's eyes lit up and he put down his phone, "Is it going to rain hard?! Will there be snow?! Can we have a snowball fight or build a snowman?!"
"I can't say for sure, but there must be snow on the mountains. Look at the tops of the mountains now. It will definitely be thicker by then." Tao's father shook his head and pointed to the mountains on the side of the road.
——You can’t climb to the top of the mountain, so you can only watch but not play, which is boring.
"In the past, none of these mountaintops could be climbed. After school, we would go to the mountains to collect firewood and herd sheep and cattle. Those mountains were filled with paths taken by people. Now no one goes up there. The mountains are full of weeds and thorns. , the road is gone."
Dad Tao looked in the rearview mirror and saw Tao You leaning back on the seat again. He changed the subject and said, "You can set off fireworks then. Do you remember that when you were a child, you would drag your cousin along every Chinese New Year?" There's that cannon at the back door. You love to play, but you order it but don't dare to take it. So you throw it to your cousin and hide behind him, pull his clothes, and force him to block in front of you. Only your head is still there. Outside." As if remembering that scene, Tao's father started to feel happy as he spoke.
Tao You touched the tip of his nose and felt a trace of embarrassment rising from the bottom of his heart.
What I am most afraid of is that the dark history of my childhood will be mentioned in front of others...
"Oh, time flies so fast. By the time of the Chinese New Year next year, you will be eighteen and a big girl." While waiting at the red light, Tao's father suddenly sighed with emotion.
Before Tao You had time to be moved, the sad family love in her mind started to sound, and she heard Tao's father's tone suddenly change, "While I'm here,
In the last year, it’s best if you play quickly and get tired of it. I won’t buy it for you next year. "
——I was super moved.
Tao You sniffed, put away the tears that were about to appear in his eyes, and his emotions instantly dissipated in his heart.
"By the way, has Xiao Song contacted you recently?" Tao's father turned off the radio and asked suddenly.
Tao You nodded, picked up the phone and took a look at it, and said matter-of-factly, "Of course, he gave me a lecture this morning. He sent me a video." She opened the message Song Yimian had sent.
Video to come.
"Oh." Tao's father responded inexplicably, then looked at Tao You in the rearview mirror and asked curiously, "What video is it?"
Tao You replied with a smile and said, "Xiao An lost in a game, a funny video of a big adventure."
"Oh, Xiao An." Tao's father's voice was not as tight as before, as if he was relieved, "Do you and Xiao An also contact each other often?"
"..."
Tao You replied to the message and nodded absently. It took a few seconds before he remembered to answer Tao's father, "Occasionally. Xiao An lives in school, and his cell phone was confiscated by his uncle, so he can't contact him usually."
"..."
Dad Tao didn't reply, he nodded silently, not knowing what he was thinking.
"What's wrong?" Tao You noticed something was wrong with him, threw his phone on the bag aside, put his hands on the back of the driver's seat, and leaned closer to ask.
Dad Tao shook his head, "It's okay, just ask." He silently turned up the radio volume.
Tao You nodded thoughtfully and sat back.
She took out her cell phone and sent a message to Hong Xiqi. She always had a bad feeling.
After a few minutes, the appearance of the house was visible. Dad Tao turned down the sound of the radio again and said, "Hey, didn't you say before that Song Yimian was going to participate in that robot competition? He also had to take care of his studies at the same time. I still have extra energy to give you lectures and chat."
"..." Tao You moved his eyes away from the phone and looked at Tao's father through the rearview mirror, feeling that there was something in his words.
——Is it because she took up Song Yimian’s study time?
--still......
"Dad, just say what you want to say."
During the conversation, the car just drove to the door of the house. Tao's father parked the car and said before getting out of the car, "It's nothing. I just think that you should learn this thing. In the end, you still have to rely on yourself. He is also so busy, right? It’s not nice to bother people.”
Tao You didn't think this was a serious problem and retorted, "Wouldn't it be more convenient to ask him? Others haven't had the chance to open a small stove yet. And he didn't say it was inconvenient... .”
What it means is - what are you worrying about here? Your daughter's grades have improved, so you shouldn't be happy.
"What if he is too embarrassed to refuse? You can ask the teacher directly." Tao's father suggested, "When school started, didn't you just set up a WeChat group with the teacher's WeChat account? Xiao Song is still a student. He definitely doesn’t know as much as the teacher.”
"..." She wanted to say, that may not be the case.
Tao You carried the fruit and held the fireworks. Her eyes flickered a few times, and she followed Tao's father through the door. "Dad, do you have any objections to Song Yimian? You and my mother always let me do it before." Want to learn from Song Yimian?"
"It was before, what does it have to do with now!" Tao's father suddenly raised his voice, and then realized that he had gone too far. He looked back at Tao You, who had a dazed look on his face, was silent for a moment, and then shook his head firmly, " Forget it, forget it, you don’t understand even after I tell you. Just go back and study, just leave the things here."
"Then should I ask now or not?" Tao You put down the fireworks in his hand.
"...First of all, let's continue as usual, as usual."
"Hey, wait a minute." Tao's father called to Tao You who was walking up the stairs again. He looked at her for a few times without hesitating to speak, and finally waved his hand with a serious look on his face. "Okay, okay, no, it's okay. Come on, go up and study quickly. I’ll call you later and come back down to help.”
Tao You slowly walked up the stairs. She had never seen such a troubled look on Tao's father's face, and she felt confused.
"Tao Hong! Bought so many fireworks again! Restock!" Downstairs, Tao's mother's sharp and angry voice reached Tao You's ears through the ceiling, "You bought so many to eat?! How much did it cost?"
"..."
"You're going to die! These fireworks cost so much money! Why don't you just give them money..."
"People also want to celebrate the New Year..." Tao's father tried to quibble at first, "I don't know how to bargain. It was my fault. I won't do it next time."
「……」

"Xiao Youyou, have you read the Weicheng Forum?!" Hong Xiqi called near noon.
This forum is well known to everyone in Weicheng. Even people like Grandma Tao who have never surfed the Internet have heard of it to some extent.
However, in recent years, more and more students have been active on the forum, and this forum has become a recognized gossip world among students in disguise. You can find out all kinds of gossip, whether it is in the school or outside the school.
Whether it is elementary school, junior high school, high school, college, or even university, as long as it is news and gossip circulating in the school, no matter how big or small the matter is, you can find relevant content on the forum.
Tao You put her cell phone up in front of the table, holding the oranges that had been roasting on the stove for a while with her hands. "Hoo hoo," she puffed up her mouth and blew on her red fingers while taking a look and her face was red with excitement. Hong Xiqi shook his head and rolled the orange back and forth in his hands to cool down, "I didn't read it. What new gossip is going on?"
Hong Xiqi seemed to have expected this answer, and sent a link directly to save Tao You from having to log in again to find it. "I knew you didn't read it, so I sent you the link. Please take a look." Watch it now!"
Tao You clicked on the link, and the first picture was a mug shot of Song Yimian during the competition.
"This is······"
"Did you see it! Song Yimian! It's popular!" Hong Xiqi raised her voice unconsciously, "It's completely popular! It's even on the forum headlines! It's like a big-character poster!"
Hearing this, Tao You raised his eyebrows without denying it.
I didn’t bother to eat the already warm oranges.
Really popular.
The last time a big-character poster appeared on the headlines of this forum was four years ago when the top student in liberal arts and sciences in the college entrance examination got engaged.
"My classmates from other schools are now sending me private messages asking for Song Yimian's contact information, and they also want to pay me to take photos of Song Yimian's daily life for them."
"He is really popular! Do you think there will be a talent scout who discovers him and wants to sign him? I will be considered a friend of the celebrity by then! Then will I be considered a toe in the entertainment industry! By then! I’ll ask him to help me get an autograph when the time comes, ah~! Yes, yes, yes, I have to ask for his autograph in advance. I won’t be able to grab it by then, and I can still sell it for money. How much is an appropriate price for an autograph?”
