The morning sun of our boyhood

In the self-study class on Friday, Tao Xi received a call from the kindergarten teacher. When he rushed to the kindergarten anxiously, the principal explained to him: Because he is neither Guoguo's biological father nor has he gone through formal adoption procedures, so The orphanage has the right to take Guoguo away.Tao Xi was stunned—he had been raising Guoguo alone for 3 years. From 3 to 6 years old, he had never planned anything, and he had never considered any adoption procedures.

The director said: "People from the orphanage came too suddenly, and wanted to take Guoguo away by name. I think you should have been reported."

"Report..." Tao Xi subconsciously repeated the director's words.

Guoguo's mother was only on a business trip at first, but later she has been doing research on bird migration in Africa. In this way, Guoguo became Tao Xi's adopted daughter who did not apply for adoption.

Tao Xi has never disliked the tiredness and inconvenience of carrying Guoguo.He and Guoguo's father are siblings, and Guoguo has long occupied his heart, loving him like his own daughter.He never thought that one day, someone would take Guoguo away from him.

Knowing that Tao Xi ran away on the way to work because Guo Guo was taken away by the orphanage, An Mi understood a little.Guoguo is a very cute little girl, like a little adult, I have seen her several times at Tao Xi's house, An Mi can tell: Tao Xi takes good care of Guoguo, and Guoguo and Taoxi are also very close .

When An Mi came home from get off work, she saw Tao Xi sitting at the door with a dejected face, rubbing her hair and muttering to herself: "What should I do..." Thinking of Guo Guo's intimacy when he called "Little Tao Zi", An Mi moved heart, so she quickly took action.

The next day, she tried to become a volunteer in the orphanage and met Guoguo smoothly.She promised Guoguo that she would work with Tao Xi to find a way to pick her up as soon as possible, and then said goodbye to Guoguo reluctantly.

That night, Guoguo in the orphanage couldn't sleep.She hid under the quilt and pretended to be asleep to escape the teacher's inspection, then quietly opened her big eyes in the dark, tightly hugged the teddy bear An Mi brought her, and whispered to it in a whisper.

Tao Xi didn't sleep either. He was fully armed, wearing night clothes, and holding the floor plan of the orphanage.It doesn't matter if you say he is simple and rude, or you say he is obsessed with ghosts, anyway, he plans to rescue Guo Guo from the orphanage by himself.Those people took Guoguo away from him without saying a word, so he can bring Guoguo back without saying a word.It's a pity that the success fell short, and he went to the orphanage, and before he could talk to Guoguo, he was discovered by the security guards, so he had to leave in a hurry, and the rabbit ears on his head fell into the grass.

When An Mi went to see Guoguo in the orphanage the next morning, she thought that Guoguo would be more melancholy and sad today, but when she arrived at the orphanage, Guoguo pounced on her, sweeping away yesterday's unhappiness, her eyes twinkled Brightly shouted to her: "Aunt An, little Taozi has come to see me!"

An Mi looked at Guoguo puzzled, and Guoguo pointed to the hairpin with rabbit ears in the grass outside the window. An Mi looked at the hairpin, recalled Tao Xi's expression yesterday, and then remembered the floor plan on the table, and suddenly realized.

Guoguo asked puzzledly, "Little Taozi came here, why didn't you pick me up?"

An Mi was very sad, and hugged Guo Guo into her arms, not letting her see her tears, and said in a calm voice, "Yes, little Taozi came, he came to check whether Guo Guo is good or not here. He will come to pick Guoguo home soon..."

Seeing Guoguo, the first thing has already been done.Although it was only through the glass window and the night, seeing that Guoguo was being well taken care of in the orphanage, Tao Xi felt relieved for the time being.

Next, Tao Xi was going to do the second thing-a big thing, a big thing that should have been done long ago!Tao Xi stood in front of the mirror, carefully put on a black suit, looked at himself for a while, and straightened his tie again. Twenty minutes later, Tao Xi stood in front of a skyscraper in the city center and looked up at the simple four words above - Huayu Group.

This time, he came just for one person.This person is the person who works on the roof of this building—his father Tao Yu.

Tao Yu was not surprised by Tao Xi's arrival, this was exactly his purpose - he wanted Tao Xi to see the power of power.A high school physical education teacher living in poverty has no choice but to hire a lawyer when encountering such a situation.As a man, only with enough capital can he do what he really wants to do.He hoped that this time could help Tao Xi to think clearly, so that he could return to Huayu Group to take over as soon as possible.After all, he only had this one son.

It was really my father who did it!

Tao Xi trembled slightly after hearing his father's answer, and couldn't control the grief and anger in his voice: "Why did you do this? In order to threaten me, you actually involved a child? You still don't understand to this day, I Why don't you want to stay by your side. You don't need to understand me, but my minimum is that you don't touch the people around me!"

When Tao Xi walked home from the Huayu Group Building, it was already dark, the tie that was neatly tied around his neck was crooked, and the two buttons on the collar of his shirt were also unbuttoned.

What my father said just now is partly true.He is just a useless high school physical education teacher, facing Guoguo who was taken away, there is nothing he can do.An Mi can meet Guoguo with a "Senior Teacher Certificate", but he doesn't even have this qualification.

A waste!A waste who was abandoned by dreams and voluntarily abandoned reality!A waste caught between the past and the future!Tao Xi smiled wryly with tears in his eyes.

On Monday morning, when Qingcheng was brushing her teeth, the phone rang.She quickly spit out the water and went to answer the phone.

"Hello, Wu Tong."

"I'm at your door, come out quickly." Then, Wu Tong hung up the phone.Qingcheng was stunned.She looked under the window, and Wu Tong was really standing there.She quickly packed her things and went out.

"When did Uncle Wu become so free?"

Wu Tong moved the parked bicycle over, rode on it, and said, "Let's go to school."

Qingcheng was stunned for a second, and soon understood. "Me, you take me to school?"

"En." Wu Tong answered this word lightly.

"I'm sitting behind you, it's not good." Although I did Wu Tong's bicycle once before, after all, I was going home at that time, and now I am going to school. If I let Wu Tong's fans see it, I would definitely be beaten You must die.

Wu Tong replied: "I don't recommend you to sit in front of me either."

Allure 囧, I feel like I've been teased, no, I've really been teased.

"Forget it. Going to school like this is too eye-catching. I guess I will be wanted by all the girls in the school before I even enter the classroom."

Wu Tong paused, looked at his watch, and said leisurely: "If this continues, we will all be late."

Qingcheng also looked at his watch, helpless, but still hesitant.

Wu Tong grabbed Qingcheng's wrist and pushed her on the back seat. Before Qingcheng could react, he rode away.

After arriving at the school, it really attracted a lot of people.Qingcheng felt that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at her at this moment, and she felt that her auditory nerve was instantly strengthened, and the voices of the people around seemed to enter her ears.

In this way, I walked into the classroom amidst other people's discussions.The news spread really fast. As soon as she entered the classroom, Qingcheng felt that some histories were always strikingly similar. The whole class quickly surrounded her and Wu Tong and began to ask questions.Especially Li Zhenma, her expression was anxious and angry, as if she wanted to eat Qingcheng.

Wu Tong and Qing Cheng, as if they had discussed it, did not answer the students' questions tacitly, walked out of the crowd at the same time, walked to their seats, and sat down at the same time.As if nothing happened, automatically shield everything from the outside world.

Yin Ke looked normal, as usual, writing the questions in the position, but he didn't seem to be thinking about writing the exercises at all. He silently listened to the surrounding students discussing Wu Tong and Qingcheng, but his expression was still doing nothing.

At lunch time, Qingcheng sat with Li Zishawan.

Listening to the voices of the people around, Li Zi still couldn't help asking: "Qingcheng, what's going on with you and Wu Tong?"

"That's all."

Li Zi was surprised, she thought that Qingcheng had acquiesced, "Really?"

Sha Wan said: "What Qingcheng means is that it is what you think it is." Qingcheng nodded.

Li Zi was depressed, and said to Qingcheng: "Qingcheng, do you know that there is a vote on our school forum?"

"What vote?" Qingcheng and Sha Wan asked at the same time.

Li Zi shook her head, these two nerds really didn't care about the outside world.Then he took out his mobile phone and opened the school forum, "Now there is a poll on who is better for Qingcheng and who is more suitable for Qingcheng. The options are Wu Tong and Yin Ke."

Qingcheng sprayed instantly, took a look at the phone, and complained: "The people in our school are really boring."

Sha Wan also glanced at the phone, and said doubtfully: "Everyone is talking about Qingcheng and Wu Tong today, but why did Qingcheng and Yin Ke get more votes?"

Li Zi said: "I don't even look at those fans of Wu Tong, how could they be willing to let Qingcheng and Wu Tong together, they must all vote for Yin Kebai."

Li Zi said with a half-smile again: "Besides, I also think that Qingcheng and Yin Keting...cough, the people in our school are quite discerning."

Qingcheng held her chopsticks in her mouth, and the more she thought about it, the more depressed she became. She put down her chopsticks and said solemnly, "Please hack the school forum."

At some point, Tao Xi, who was extremely exhausted, fell asleep until the doorbell rang.He picked up his phone and checked the time - 4:[-] am.

Could it be An Mi?What's the situation with Guoguo?

Squeezing through the door was a huge monster. It began to pull down the equipment on its body layer by layer. Every time a layer was removed, the body became smaller, and there was an extra layer of soil on the ground.

In the end, it, no, she finally turned her head, looked at Tao Xi, gave Tao Xi a tired smile with her sun-tanned honey-colored face, and said, "It's me, Guoguo Mom."

Guoguo's mother is such a woman: she has known Guoguo's father, Tao Xi, and Bai Zhou since childhood.She is the best-studied one among the four, graduating from famous schools at home and abroad all the way.If Guoguo hadn't been dragged into love by her father, she would have dedicated her life to animal research in the African savannah.

It is undeniable that for Guoguo, she became an incompetent mother, but fortunately, Tao Xi, a friend, came to make up for it.The day before yesterday, she learned from Tao Xi's email that Guoguo had been taken away by the orphanage because of incomplete adoption procedures, so she packed her simple luggage and rushed to the airport, but there was no suitable flight.Later, she took a cargo plane through a friend's relationship, and after several transfers, it took her more than 40 hours to rush back from Africa.

Hearing Tao Xi explain the ins and outs clearly, including how his father used Guoguo to threaten him to go back to take over the job, Guoguo's mother thought about it and made a joke: "Why don't we get a marriage certificate? Is it justifiable to be Guoguo's father?"

Tao Xi was taken aback by her: "You...you are trying to entrap my lifelong happiness!"

Guoguo's mother looked nonchalant: "We have evidence but no evidence! Don't worry, many girls are very reasonable now. After knowing the truth, they will definitely not mind, and they will follow you as usual."

Tao Xi had no choice but to growl: "You were blown into a madman by the wild wind on the African grassland!"

Joking aside, at dawn, Guoguo's mother and Tao Xi rushed to the orphanage and presented all the documents proving that she was Guoguo's biological mother.

The dean carefully checked the documents and said, "You can take Guoguo away. But I have to remind you that it is not our intention to bring Guoguo to the orphanage. We also hope that every child will be accompanied by family members. In the end, it is your negligence as adults. Parents have no time to take care of their children. They should entrust their children to relatives who have blood relations. If there are no relatives, they can apply to the orphanage for foster care according to law. This is extremely irresponsible behavior!"

Her words made Guoguo's mother bow her head in shame.

Tao Xi went to pick up Guoguo with Guoguo's mother.Guoguo saw Tao Xi first, and shouted happily: "Xiao Taozi, have you finally come to pick me up?"

She was about to rush into Tao Xi's arms, when she suddenly found her mother behind Tao Xi, her round eyes widened in disbelief, then she burst into her mother's arms with tears, shouting: "Mom! Mom!" God knows how regretful Guoguo's mother is at this moment, regretting that she has escaped for so many years, regretting that she came back too late.She hugged Guoguo tightly, and decided in her heart with tears: This time, she will never leave her daughter again.

During the few days when Tao Xi was working on Guoguo's affairs, Wu Tong acted as the temporary coach and led the Cubs to train.The game is coming soon, and the players are all very nervous, but the most nervous is none other than the interim coach Wu Tong.Because he had a conflict with his father again, he felt like he had eaten a drug, as if he wanted to vent all the anger that he had nowhere to use on the training ground, so he led everyone to do three sets of dumbbells and three sets of squats. Then run back and forth three times.

Ban Xiaosong looked at the irritable Wu Tong, and went to Xia Qingcheng to make the players feel better. As an assistant coach, she wanted her to lead the players to train.Qingcheng refused with a smile. She said that Wu Tong's training is also for their own good, and she will silently cheer for them by the side.What Qingcheng didn't know was that because of today's events, Ban Xiaosong thought it was like "the husband sings and the wife follows" when she said this.

The latest order from Tao Xi brought by Bai Zhou made Wu Tong even more angry: Yin Ke had been a good catcher for him, but Tao Xifei was going to be replaced by Xue Tie. Seeing Xue Tie's appearance, he didn't dare to pick him up at all. The ball, how to be a catcher!But Teacher Baizhou insisted: "Tao Xi said, as long as Xue Tie is your catcher, the problem of you being seen through by the Silver Eagles will be solved." Not only Wu Tong, but even Yin Ke looked suspiciously at him. Shrinking Xue Tie: Is Tao Xi really playing tricks on them?

In any case, they obeyed the coach's instructions.With the mentality of giving it a try, Xue Tie stood at the catcher's position opposite Wu Tong.But let alone catching the ball, he didn't even dare to look straight in the face. Facing the incoming ball, he either hid or closed his eyes.Wu Tong finally couldn't help shouting at him domineeringly: "Stand up! Don't hide! Look at me!"

Ban Xiaosong looked at Xue Tie, who was about to cry, and persuaded: "Wu Tong, your ball is already fast. Normal people must be afraid to see such a fast ball flying over. It took me a long time to get used to it."

Wu Tong woke up suddenly, annoyed that he had committed the old habit of not paying attention to other people's feelings again.But this time, he was angry not because of himself, but because of Yin Ke.Although Yin Ke was standing beside him with a smile and a look of indifference, he felt that the coach's latest arrangement was a distrust of Yin Ke.

Qingcheng also noticed this, walked up to Yin Ke and said, "You don't think too much, do you?"

Yin Ke's expression was indifferent.

Qingcheng went on to say: "The coach must have his intentions in this arrangement. When he announced the list of defensive players, Xue Tie was also one of the nine supporters, so we will wait for the result." Yin Ke nodded.Allure left the baseball field.

Wu Tong suppressed his anger and said to Xue Tie: "Xue Tie, I'm sorry, I was a little anxious."

Xue Tie shook his head violently: "Brother Wu Tong, it's okay, you should be angry! I blame myself for being too timid, but give me some time and I will get used to it. I can already understand your codes now."

Now Yin Ke's smile disappeared, and he asked Wu Tong: "Did you tell him our secret code?" He could accept the coach's temporary arrangement, but he couldn't accept Wu Tong telling others about the tacit understanding that only belonged to the two of them.

Wu Tong looked at the stern-faced Yin Ke, knew that the matter was serious, and asked Xue Tie angrily, "When did I tell you the password?"

Xue Tie hurriedly explained: "No, no, brother Wu Tong didn't tell me, I saw it myself."

"What code did you see?" Yin Keruo's eyes lit up, and he said, "Wu Tong, try throwing the ball to Xue Tie again. Xue Tie, if you see the code, call out what ball it is. "

Wu Tong threw a ball, Xue Tie still didn't dare to look directly at the ball, but shouted out his own judgment: "Straight ball!"

Wu Tong felt a little startled, picked up a baseball and prepared to throw again, this time before the ball was shot, Xue Tie shouted: "Finger ball!" Almost at the same time as he spoke, Wu Tong shot the baseball, and sure enough, the ball After flying a certain distance, it strangely changed its trajectory and fell downward.

Now Wu Tong, Yin Ke and Ban Xiaosong were all stunned.Ban Xiaosong was the first to yell out: "God, Xue Tie, how did you do it?!"

Xue Tie looked dazed: "Brother Wu Tong told me." He imitated Wu Tong's serving action, "Like this, with your knees slightly bent and your shoulders back, it's a straight ball; like this, move your left shoulder , tilt your head, it's a finger ball..."

Wu Tong, Yin Ke and Ban Xiaosong looked at each other, and suddenly started laughing at the same time.Yin Ke was the first to stop laughing, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that's the case! Fingering the ball will put more pressure on the shoulders than a straight ball, so Wu Tong will subconsciously do some preparatory activities before throwing the fingering ball. The Silver Eagles guessed Wu Tong's pitching intention just by mastering these small details! Because I am too familiar with Wu Tong, I ignored these details, and Xue Tie has always been careful, so the coach sent him to discover these details!"

Ban Xiaosong hugged Xue Tie happily: "Xue Tie, Xue Tie, you are really 'iron filings', you are as careful as scraps, you deserve your reputation!"

The thin Xue Tie asked half nervously and half happily: "Brother Xiaosong, did I really discover something important? Did I really help the team?"

"Not only helping, you are the number one contributor to the Cubs!" Ban Xiaosong put him down, patted him on the shoulder and praised him loudly.

After taking Guoguo home from the orphanage, Guoguo's mother took her to school to find Tao Xi after school the next day.

The Cubs are training on the playground, Qingcheng is playing with Guoguo on the grass, Guoguo's mother and Tao Xi are chatting in the sunset.

"Tao Xi, my work abroad has been transferred from a field trip to a research institute. I don't have to travel around anymore. I think it's time to live with Guoguo. I can't let Guoguo become your burden and drag you down. You are not young anymore, if it is because of Guoguo that it will affect your future life... If you have no objection, I think you should take Guoguo with you this time."

Tao Xi was taken aback by Guoguo's mother's sudden words, and after a while he replied in a dull voice: "I'll think about it before I talk about it."

Guoguo's mother brought the topic to another place. Seeing Guoguo and Qingcheng having fun, Guoguo's mother couldn't help taking out her mobile phone to take a picture of this moment.She asked Tao Xi: "Does Guoguo know this girl in your class very well?"

Tao Xi, who was still stuck on the last topic, paused for a few seconds before answering: "Well, I was injured and hospitalized for a while, and it was this girl and three other boys in our class who helped me take care of Guoguo."

The two quietly kept their eyes on Guoguo, unwilling to look away...

After returning home, Tao Xi thought and thought, and the final result was: Guoguo must go with her mother.

Who does Guoguo belong to?The answer is that she does not belong to anyone but herself, and she should be with whoever can give her the brightest future.

She is getting older day by day, and will soon usher in her teenage years. What she needs is the care of her biological mother, not a rough old man like herself who doesn't understand anything.

This ideal is very simple, and it has nothing to do with being reluctant or being fair to yourself.After Tao Xi told Guoguo's mother of her decision, her eyes turned red, she nodded, and went to talk to Guoguo.

The next day, as soon as Tao Xi opened the door after get off work, Guoguo cried and threw herself into his arms, asking, "Xiao Taozi, do you want me anymore?"

This question almost brought Tao Xi to tears. He restrained himself for a long time before he squatted down, touched Guoguo's head and said to her, "Guoguo, be good. Think about it, you can wear the same clothes as your mother in the future." Dress, wear the same bow, you can still go shopping together, you can tell others that this is your mother. Your mother can do things that I can’t do. Besides, she is so beautiful, unlike me, you don’t always Think I'm ugly?"

Guoguo touched Tao Xi's face with her small hand: "You are not ugly! You are not ugly at all!"

Tao Xi and Guo Guo looked at each other, choked up and unable to speak.

The sensible Guoguo finally accepted the arrangement of her mother and Tao Xi, and just asked sullenly: "Why do you adults always like to make decisions by yourself?"

Guoguo's mother's eyes were so sad that Tao Xi hugged Guoguo.Guoguo looked at her mother, then at Tao Xi, a little disappointed: "Don't be sad, Guoguo won't cry anymore, Guoguo doesn't want to be a child who will only cause trouble for adults."

Tao Xi's tears couldn't stop flowing down anymore, Guoguo stretched out her little hand to wipe Tao Xi's tears.

Guoguo said: "Xiao Taozi, before I leave, can I watch a game of your team? I know you are not bragging, you are really good."

Tao Xi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded firmly: "Okay! I'll go to watch Xiao Taozi's game with my mother tomorrow."
