Tan Rou said, "This morning, I attended a physics competition. After it finished, he came to pick me up. Didn't I tell you when I left this morning that I had things to do and wouldn't come back for lunch?"
Mother Tao showed a regretful expression, "Oh no! I actually forgot about my precious daughter's competition today. That was a big oversight!" These days, she had been preoccupied with renovation matters, rushing to move in, and couldn't fit anything else in her mind. She hadn't paid much attention when her daughter said she was heading out this morning, as her daughter often went out on weekends. She hadn't expected that today was her daughter's physics competition test, and she had completely forgotten about it. What an irresponsible mom she was!
Tan Rou was amused by her mother's reaction and quickly said, "It's alright, Mom, it was just a small competition."
