[039] I promised him(2/2)
My father was a little embarrassed, so he coughed, threw down the newspaper, stood up and left.
My mother ignored him and asked her son again: "How many days will you take for vacation?"
“No holiday.”
Lin Tang lowered his head and drank the porridge with the vegetables. "I took a leave and I have to leave after lunch. There will be a training match tonight."
“…”
The house was quiet for a long time, and there was only the sound of Lin Tang eating. When he was about to finish eating, his mother sat down next to him, pulled a tissue, and whispered: "I won't go back if I haven't had a vacation. I'm taking a leave and running so far... What's the point? I haven't been on the road for a long time at home..."
When she spoke, her voice slowly lowered. She vaguely heard the father outside seemingly making a phone call. After a while, she slowly walked back, still sat down in the seat just now, picked up the newspaper again, and seemed to be the same page as before.
My mother came back after washing the bowl and checked the time, "Do you go to school?"
My father looked at the watch on his wrist, as if he was about to stand up, and then suddenly thought of something, and sat back, "Oh... Lao Liang just called and said that he had something to do tomorrow and could not go to class. Please ask me for help and change it with him... I promised him."
