Now even Tao's mother cast an unfriendly look.
"Rumors! They are all rumors!" Tao You cleared her throat and retorted loudly, trying to dispel Tao's mother's suspicion and speculation immediately.
Although Shen De was also from No. 1 Middle School, she and Song Yimian were the only ones present who saw each other every day and were the closest to each other. It was even less likely that Tao's mother and Tao's father would call Song Yimian to find out more...
Whether she has received a love letter or whether there is any suspicion of puppy love is still a matter of opening and closing her mouth. ..
Shen De frowned and rubbed his chin, "Really?"
He thought and looked at Tao You's frank and honest face. Based on his understanding of Tao You in his memory, he felt that she was a very innocent and good girl. She couldn't possibly lie when her parents said she was someone else's child. .
"Did Xu Youyou lie?" He murmured to himself.
"Who is Xu Youyou?" Tao You asked curiously when he heard this strange name.
Shen De briefly introduced what happened, "My classmate."
"A few days before the final exam, she suddenly wanted to send a love letter to Song Yimian. We bet that she wouldn't dare to send it, but we didn't expect that she actually did it. She put it in the drawer and also put a box of handmade chocolates. I even took a photo and posted it in the group.”
"She also posted several photos from different angles. There was a textbook on the table with Song Yimian's name written on it."
This kind of petty quarrels between classmates are all too common in schools. They can be compared in everything from large-scale competitions in the school to who has the higher accuracy in homework today.
Tao You asked quickly, "What's the request?"
"It's a month's worth of lunch, so that's all I can exchange for." Shen De said calmly, "Do you have other ways to play in class? The top students are just different~"
"Ahem!" A low cough came from behind, and his tone was full of warning.
Tao You raised his eyebrows slightly, gave Shen De a look that said, "I hope you will be blessed", and said obediently, "Our class rarely does this. At most, they only compete on homework, grades, and rankings... ..."
Because she was telling the truth, her face didn't turn red and her heart didn't beat. At this time, she was glad that her classmates were not so noisy.
"I'm not the only one. After all, it only costs about ten yuan a day for each person..." Shen De explained in a panic, while mechanically looking back at Dad Shen, he saw two bundles of his His gaze almost penetrated him, "Gudong" swallowed his saliva.
The five fingers of Father Shen's right hand placed on his thigh were already stretched, and he asked in a deep voice, suppressing his emotions, "Where are you from?"
"Tao You, tell me, if you say there is no love letter, then Xu Youyou is lying." Shen De skillfully noticed Father Shen's right hand, shrank his head and said, "I, I am, loser, loser... ..”
After he finished speaking, Shen De raised his arm in front of his head, faster than Shen's father raised his fallen right hand.
"You have the nerve to say that?! Ten yuan is not money! What on earth are you going to school for?! When will you get the red list in the exam and give us a reputation?! Do this all day long! I'll give you pocket money What makes you spend money like this?! Believe it or not, I won’t give you pocket money from next semester?! Look at my Xiaoyou!" Father Shen reprimanded with saliva spattering and waved his palm on Shen De's back. He was also merciless and made a muffled sound of "bang bang".
It hurts to hear it.
"Hey, hey, it's Chinese New Year, don't hit your children." The relatives nearby had enough of watching the show and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Shen's father and persuade him.
"That's right, kids, that's how we came here."
"..."
"Wait a minute! She lied! I didn't lose! I made a mistake in my last move and clicked because she didn't put the love letter!"...
Shen De suddenly stood up and wiped the saliva from his face, feeling as if the rain had passed and the sky had cleared! Holding the mobile phone, he walked out of the door in a few steps. He could still vaguely hear his voice, "Xu Youyou, you lied! You didn't even send a love letter! Lunch in the first month of school! Don't forget it!"
"..."
Tao You raised his hand and only caught the air left behind when he turned around.
"I haven't...finished yet..." She retracted her fingers and curled her lips angrily.
He couldn't blame her, he was too anxious and didn't listen to the whole story.
——It turns out that the love letters and handmade chocolates discovered by the class teacher that day were given to Song Yimian by this Xu Youyou.
Tao You recalled that morning when she went downstairs to clean the *** room, the class teacher had not yet arrived, and the head teacher was patrolling the class. He just happened to put a blue love letter and a box of chocolates into the textbook, and brought it with him after the morning self-study. Went to the office.
The head teacher was in the classroom, and no one dared to look up to see what she was doing, and no one knew exactly whose table she was taking out.
Since then, they have never seen the love letter and chocolate in the class again.
She didn't know if she said it right or not, but from another perspective, Song Yimian did not receive the love letter. It was the head teacher who received it. He might not even know that he had received it.
Even though Song Yimian was quite handsome and had a lot of fans behind him, not many actually sent him love letters, except for the time he invited his companions to the New Year's Day party two years ago.
Around this topic again, a group of people talked back and forth for more than half an hour.
——————————————————————————
In the afternoon, the sun was shining, and the plates of melon seeds, fruits, snacks, and thermos flasks of various colors on the round table gradually became empty. The nut shells on the table were accumulating more and more, and the tea became weaker and weaker as it brewed.
Many guests chatted for a while before saying goodbye and going home.
In addition to those who are closest to them, they are still sitting at the table with Grandpa Tao and Grandma Tao, chatting about the past, present and future.
"Tao You, come here and help." Tao's father stood in front of the kitchen door, tying his apron with his backhand and calling to Tao You.
——Calling her alone would not be a good thing...
In addition, the incident we just talked about happened...
Tao You's heart that had just been put down for a long time was lifted again.
Sure enough, after finishing the final work, Tao's father finally started his "insinuating things."
"Xiaoyou, I remember you said before that Xiao Song received a lot of love letters." Dad Tao asked as if he was looking for a topic while wiping the stove.
"Only at the New Year's Day party." His father was one of his own, and Tao You didn't think there would be any benefit in hiding him, so he answered truthfully, "That was the only time the school allowed you to find your own companions. Then, I just found out, That Xu Youyou also gave it away once, but the head teacher took it away first, and Song Yimian didn't know."
Father Tao was busy with his work and put the rag under the faucet to rinse. He didn't know if he responded casually, "Oh..."
"Wow~"
Tao You poured out the dishwashing water that was finally clear in the iron basin.
Dad Tao turned off the faucet and hung the rag on the window sill. He seemed to have thought about it for a long time before speaking.
"Xiaoyou, is there a boy you like?"
Tao You's strange behavior these days made Tao You have some suspicions, but he was still frightened by Tao's straightforward questions.
Her heart skipped a beat, and the bowl in her hand almost slipped out of her hands, causing her to break into a cold sweat.
"Why are you asking this suddenly?"
"Studying is important now..."
It seemed that every time she felt too guilty to answer a question, she would not choose to answer the question directly. Instead, she would ask a seemingly boring question in order to change the topic, and her voice would even tremble slightly.
"It's okay, just ask." Tao's father replied seemingly casually, but his eyes were still fixed on Tao You's pretending to be calm face.
But Tao You never dared to let go, holding his breath to prevent himself from showing even a hint of panic.
——Why are you staring at her? Could it be that dad really discovered something.
"Actually, it's normal for you to have a crush on the opposite sex at your age," Tao's father continued.
He spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he was talking about what to eat tonight, "When I was your age, I also had a crush on a girl in the class..." He said, rinsed his hands, took off his apron and put it aside. , put his hands on the black tile table, and moved his eyes upward to the black green mountain top not far from the window.
His eyes gradually became distant, as if he was caught in a beautiful memory.
——This is, there is a story to listen to!
Tao You stopped placing the plate, fearing that the crisp sound of the clinking porcelain would cover up Tao's father's voice.
Her eyes widened slightly, waiting quietly and expectantly for the follow-up.
I have never heard my father tell stories about his youth.
The small kitchen became quiet, and all kinds of chatter in the living room could be heard.
——Since my father also liked a girl at that time, would he, perhaps, understand and support me...
Tao You thought this and had some plans in mind.
"But," Tao's father changed his tone and was not ready to continue telling the story. He would not personally give his handle to Tao You, just in case she told Tao's mother quickly... .Although Tao's mother probably knows about this...but she may not agree with him telling Tao You this misleading thing.
If she really had a conversation because of what he said, he would regret it to death, and Mother Tao would not let him go...
"The college entrance examination is a priority. You must put this matter first at this stage. You can put other things aside for the time being!" Tao's father said decisively.
When Tao You heard the word "but", he put away the gossipy smile on his face, lowered his head and continued to arrange the dishes, deliberately making the sound of the clinking of the porcelain louder. He didn't really want to continue listening to the familiar truths told by Tao's father.
——Support a ghost!
She sighed and gave a rough ending to her little thoughts.
"Also, you have to know that there is a difference between liking and liking. At your age, it is easy to confuse liking with liking. A liking can be because the person has good grades and you have some admiration for him, but that is different from liking. ·······》
Tao's father was still talking eloquently on the side, not noticing Tao You's expression gradually becoming helpless and impatient, and even yawned greatly.
After talking for nearly five minutes, Tao You occasionally nodded perfunctorily in agreement while clearing away the tableware in his hands. After washing his hands, he took off his apron and handed it to Tao's father. He lowered his arms and prepared to go upstairs to clean up for a while.
"...So, you must not have a boy you like." Tao's father followed him to the stairs, and finally called Tao You. His gentle eyebrows suddenly became sharp, and he stared at her eyes for a second. Will see through her completely.
