Of course, Tan You also knew that it would be meaningless to talk about this kind of thing. The one who should be blamed the most was herself. Who made her weak in self-control?
Hearing Tan You's answer, Tan Ying let out a sigh of regret or disappointment. Tan You glanced at her again. Through the thick lenses, Tan Ying could not clearly see the meaning in Tan You's eyes, but she always felt that Tan You gave her a very different feeling today than before.
"Tan Jin, Tan Tao and Tan Wei are going to the town to hang out with their junior high school classmates. Tomorrow, do you want to go together?" In the past, Tan Ying would definitely not have thought of calling Tan You. But now she spoke out of nowhere.
After knowing this, will Tan You be excited? Didn't she want to act with them most before?
Tan You put down the book and looked at Tan Ying inquiringly: "Why did you tell me this? Didn't you two often get together before? You never called me."
Tan Ying's eyes were a little erratic, but she always had a bad temper in front of Tan You: "Just say whether you are going or not?"
"No," Tan You said simply: "They are your friends. , not my friend."
Tan Ying did not expect Tan You to refuse so neatly, and was a little stunned for a moment. Tan You ignored her and continued to read. Anyway, she had been silent since she was a child, so now this was not considered inappropriate.
Tan Ying sat in the room for about twenty minutes. She wanted to say something, but Tan You, who was very supportive before, now responded to her with perfunctory ums, ahs, and ohs. As for other topics It ends in just a few words.
Tan Ying had a bad temper to begin with, but now she got angry and said, "Do you want to go or not?" and walked away. Tan You wasn't angry when she left. Now, no matter who it was, it was hard for anyone to shake her mind.
Tan Deming walked in: "You really don't want to go tomorrow? Were you fine without Tan Ying in the past?"
Tan You closed the magazine and pushed it aside: "No, I think it's fine to be alone. There is no need to have friends. You treat others as friends, but others don’t think so. She wants you to become more and more miserable.”
Tan Deming’s gray eyebrows raised slightly: “You can actually see that.”< br>
Tan You was helpless: "I'm not really stupid. Things that I couldn't figure out before are now gradually becoming clear to me. Let me give you a very simple example. You will understand it as soon as you hear it."
Tan Deming was curious: “What example?”
Tan You thought for a while: "When I was in the second year of junior high school, there was a duck blood vermicelli shop and a cake shop opened in front of the school. The cake shop usually sold some fried chicken fillets, grilled sausages or other fried skewers."
< br>"My mother gives me forty yuan of pocket money a month. I usually don't want to spend it. I have to keep it to buy daily necessities."
"You can buy fried chicken tenders for three yuan or two. dollars One portion. Tan Ying would ask me how much pocket money I had this week every time, and then say in front of me that she wanted to eat chicken fillet. "
"But she only had two yuan, so she asked me to lend her one yuan. She can definitely buy a lot more for three dollars, and she will pay me back one dollar next week."
Tan Deming was a little confused when Tan You said: "What next?"
"The key point is this and what follows," Tan You took out the math book from the drawer: "It's normal for friends to share some snacks. After I gave the money to Tan Ying, Tan You bought three pieces. Qian’s fried chicken tenders came back.”
“I didn’t think much about it after she gave me three chicken tenders. Then Tan Ying said, I won’t pay you back this dollar because of the chicken tenders. Eat too.”
Tan Deming frowned: "Did she really say that?"
"Well," Tan You looked at her problem-solving notes: "That is the most expensive chicken I have ever eaten. Liu, three chicken fillets cost a dollar, so I won’t borrow money from me next time. "What about the duck blood vermicelli shop?" Tan Deming touched it and asked again. About duck blood fans.
"Then there's nothing to say. Tan Ying knows that I don't like to eat vermicelli, but she's not picky about food. A bowl of duck blood vermicelli costs four yuan. If she is asked to spend four yuan to eat a bowl of duck blood vermicelli, she will definitely not be able to bear it. "
"So she told me that we would pay two yuan each and we could share a bowl of duck blood vermicelli. I refused at that time."
"For that one yuan. After I didn’t get the chicken fillet money back, I vaguely understood Tan Ying’s thoughts. She just wanted to take advantage of others, but she also wanted to make a good name for herself.”
“I don’t like to eat vermicelli. Yes, then Tan Ying will only eat the bowl of duck blood vermicelli in the end. I am talkative, but I am not really stupid. I don’t have enough money to spend, so I might invite others to eat and turn around. Still laughing at me behind my back, I'm a big fool."
Tan Deming was silent for a long time: "It's not too late for you to see clearly now that she is the only one of your age in the village. If you don't associate with her, will you... ”
Tan You was funny: "Only cattle and sheep gather in groups, and ferocious beasts only walk alone. Master, do you think I am a ferocious beast or an ox or a sheep?"
Tan Deming patted Tan You on the head with a cattail leaf fan: "I used to be The cattle and sheep look like beasts now."
Tan You was not surprised that Tan Deming would say this. To be honest, although her father also had various shortcomings, Tan You was convinced that she was the one who understood her best in the family. Damn it, after all, she was brought up by Tan Deming.
Tan Deming glanced at the book in front of Tan You: "You are still hiding something, did you just deliberately fool her?"
"It's not really a fool," Tan You shrugged: " I just followed her thoughts. What Tan Ying wanted to see most was that my grades were not as good as hers, so I simply got her wish."
"She scored 20 points more than me in the high school entrance examination. Her mother Yang Juan has been proud of it for a long time. I know this." Tan You has nothing unbalanced now. She should blame herself most for her failure in the high school entrance examination, but she will not do so in the future. Got it.
Tan Deming teased: "So you are doing this now just to gain reputation?"
"I don't study hard because of her." Tan You put down the book and turned to look at Tan Deming: "I work hard now. Studying is not to impress anyone, but I really know the importance of studying, and I think I will live a good life in the future. ”
“ I never pay attention to Tan Ying or other people's opinions. I just want to have a good future in the future, and it has nothing to do with anyone."
Tan Deming thought for a long time, and he stood up: "You seemed to suddenly. Just grow up and study hard. If you don’t want to interact with Tan Ying, there are not many families in the village who think highly of our family.”
Tan You: "If you are poor in the busy city and no one cares about you, but if you are rich in the mountains and have distant relatives, I understand. Our family is poor, and your son has bad eyesight and cannot be the pillar of support, so everyone looks down on our family."
Tan Deming laughed and scolded: "What my son, that's your dad."
Tan You: "I didn't say he wasn't. Not everyone will feel pity when they see others' difficulties, and more people wish that the other person would live. The land is even more difficult. Obviously, many people in the village think so.”
