The Yu family said that they could stay for half a month this holiday. When they heard the news, the elderly who missed their children and the children who missed their parents were very happy.
Yu Zhiyi put on the new clothes her mother brought her and used new stationery at school.
Seeing her stationery box at the same table, she exclaimed beautifully, "One by one, this stationery box is so beautiful, where did you buy it? I want it too."
"It was bought by my mother out of town."
"All right!"
Yu Zhiyi's current tablemate is the little girl with the mushroom head back then. She has a very cute name - Qiao Lezhi.
Aliases, Chorus.
Qiao Lezhi reached into the desk, touched it a few times, and finally took out a transparent bag, "I remember that tomorrow is your birthday, but if you don't come to school on Saturday, I will give you the gift first. Well, I wish you a happy birthday in advance."
"Thank you Jojo."
They have been in the same class for six years, and they usually play well. When Qiao Lezhi first heard about her birthday, she gave her a small gift, and she naturally wanted to pay it back.
One to two, every birthday interactive gifts, they are some ordinary small objects, but they are full of hearts.
When she came home from school, Shi Yi asked her how she planned to celebrate her birthday tomorrow
"Your parents are back this year. They want to celebrate your birthday, right?"
"Yeah, Mom and Dad also said they would buy me a birthday cake back."
"Oh... I don't need to buy it this year."
When Yu Zhi celebrated her birthday when she was a child, her grandmother would not buy her a cake. It's not that it's bad for her, but that the old man has had too many hard days and feels that it's not worth buying cakes, so he would rather buy more chicken, duck and fish for extra meals for the children.
But children all think that birthdays are all about eating cakes, and not having cakes is not a birthday. So Shi Yi took out his pocket money to buy her small cakes.
Yu Zhiyi was full of joy now, because her parents promised her that she would buy her a big cake tomorrow, which she could share with many people.
The more I thought about it, the more I looked forward to it. I grabbed Shi Yi's palm with both hands and sincerely invited me, "Brother, come to my house to eat cake with Aunt Ning and Uncle then."
"Okay, but they have to work during the day and have to wait until after get off work."
"No problem! Mom and Dad said that tomorrow they will go to the city to buy delicious food during the day and have dinner at night."
This was the first birthday that her parents had accompanied her in seven years. Yu Zhiyi was very happy and woke up early.
During breakfast, she heard her parents discussing what to buy in the city for a while. She pricked up her ears, and when she heard her mother reminded to "buy cakes and gifts for each one", she smiled and rolled her eyes.
When Yu Kai and Ruan Qing went out, Yu Xinyan clamored to be with her parents, and they had to take this clingy little guy with them.
Yu Zhiyi had a lot of homework. After her parents went out, she stayed at home to catch up with her homework.
Grandma came in with the egg and rolled around her, "Eat this egg, no disease or disaster, safe and sound."
This is a habit passed down by the older generation. Every birthday, my grandmother will do it, saying it will bring good luck.
Yu Zhiyi liked this habit of celebration because it represented her birthday wishes.
She is slow in learning and slow in doing questions. When the homework is completed, it is already afternoon.
She walked around the door, but never waited for her parents to return.
"When are you coming back..." I really want to know when Mom and Dad can go home with the cake.
But she waited and waited, and when it was getting dark, she only waited for a phone call.
"Mom, Yanyan suddenly fell ill. We are in the hospital. You can take them to dinner first, and don't wait for us." That's what the parents on the other end of the phone told her grandmother.
"Is the child okay?"
"Acute gastroenteritis, the doctor has prescribed medicine, don't worry."
They called, and Yu Zhiyi heard them all.
She still asked, "What happened to my sister?"
Grandma patted her head and sighed, "My sister is sick, they might come back later, are you hungry? Grandma will cook for you first."
Looking at the back of her grandmother entering the kitchen, she felt bitterness in her heart, and she couldn't explain the feeling.
It was getting dark early in winter, and the couple had already come home from get off work by this time.
Seeing Shi Yi at home alone, Ning Suya put down her bag and walked towards him, "Today is Yiyi's birthday, why are you at home alone?"
"I don't know, it seems that Yiyi's parents haven't come back yet." He secretly went to the opposite yard to look twice, but he didn't hear any sound, and he didn't feel embarrassed to get up by himself.
As soon as the voice fell, a small head appeared from the door that had not been closed in time.
When she first entered the door, her father found her, "One by one, come in quickly."
Yu Zhi pursed her lips, took two steps into the room, looked at the three of them, and immediately lowered her head to apologize, "Uncle and aunt, brother, I'm sorry, my parents haven't come back yet, so I can't invite you to eat cake for the time being."
She broke her promise to everyone and felt very sorry.
Shi's father and Shi's mother didn't expect that the little girl looked like an apology to them, and immediately laughed, "I thought it was a big deal."
"Where are your parents?"
"They went shopping in the city."
"That must have bought a lot of things for Yiyi, so I came back later." They thought the child was in a hurry for her birthday, so they coaxed her with nice words.
Yu Zhi lowered his head, neither agreeing nor refuting.
When Mom and Dad knew her temperament, the two went into the kitchen with a smile and started to pack up and prepare dinner.
Without the attention of adults, she walked slowly to Shi Yi and shouted, "Brother."
Only then did Shi Yi put down the game console in his hand, and when he stood up, he rubbed her head again, "Go to my room to get a present."
There is a thick book in the center of the clean and tidy desk, and the dark blue book cover is particularly prominent.
Yu Zhiyi glanced at the person beside him curiously.
Shi Yi pointed to the book and motioned her to go take it.
The Book of Answers in gold lettering on the cover.
"Brother, isn't this a gift from me?" With a little hope in my heart, don't let her read books!
She hates reading books the most...
"Hmm." Shi Yi raised his chin without denying it.
Yu Zhiyi wanted to cry without tears, "Can I not accept this gift?"
Shi Yi's eyelids jumped, he could fully guess what this little idiot was thinking at the moment.
"Open it and see."
Under Shi Yi's instructions, Yu Zhiyi opened the page obediently.
Instructions for using "Book of Answers", hold the book with both hands, close your eyes, focus on the problem, turn the pages from back to front, and find the answer you need by your own feeling.
"Huh..." It seemed to be different from the book she imagined.
"Want to try?" Shi Yi asked her.
But for a while, she didn't seem to be able to think of any problems.
Shi Yi said, "Just ask, when will the idiot become smart?"
"Book of Answers": [No one can guarantee]
Yu Zhiyi: "..."
Old worried.
She grabbed the book back, clamped her hands, closed her eyes and asked, "I'm here to ask, has my brother's game been cleared?"
Book of Answers: [Never]
"Hahaha." Seeing this answer, the little girl suddenly felt balanced. But she knows that Shi Yi is very smart and can clear every game, so the answer in this book is incorrect.
She pointed to the book and said, "Brother, the content of this book has nothing to do with the problem!"
Seeing her smug expression, Shi Yi smiled and replied calmly, "It really can't tell you the right answer, but it can help you find the right answer."
When you open this book, the answer your subconscious wants to see is your inner choice.
Yu Zhiyi went home with a gift, making room for this magical book. Just put it up and pulled it out again.
She folded her hands together and read a question silently.
The answer given by the Book of Answers is: [Of course]
—
After eight o'clock in the evening, my grandmother called again, concerned about my sister's situation, and my parents said that they were going home soon.
After nine o'clock in the evening, Yu Zhiyi was a little sleepy waiting, and was still at the door.
"One by one, you go to bed first."
She shook her head stubbornly, "I want to wait for my parents, and my sister."
I don't know if my sister's illness is getting better, I don't know what kind of gifts and cakes my parents brought her back.
At half past nine, Yu Kai and Ruan Qing finally came back with their little daughter, some plastic bags in their hands.
Grandma greeted her, caring about her little granddaughter, "Is Yanyan okay?"
"It's okay, I took the medicine prescribed by the doctor and fell asleep on the way back."
Yu Zhiyi is not the kind of child who talks a lot. Hearing that her mother had already answered, "Sister is fine", she didn't ask about her sister's situation any more. There is absolutely no place for cakes in the pockets.
Ruan Qing put things on the table casually, Yu Kai carried her little daughter to their house, and everyone followed in because of their concern.
She saw her father put her sister on the bed, and her mother would carefully twist the quilt for her sister.
Afraid of waking up their sister, they all went outside to talk.
When the grandmother asked about the reason for the child's illness, Ruan Qing explained: "When I went shopping in the city today, Yanyan saw those delicacies and clamored to eat them, but she broke her stomach and got cold because she was not used to the weather here. When we went to the hospital for an examination, we found out that it was acute gastroenteritis, which terrified us at the time.”
"What about the cakes and gifts you bought for each one?"
"I didn't have time, only these dishes. I thought I would buy it later, but I didn't expect it to take so long."
Grandma knew that Yu Zhiyi had waited all day and almost didn't dare to watch the child's disappointment.
Ruan Qing glanced at the time and reminded: "Why haven't you slept yet? It's almost ten o'clock, hurry back to the house to sleep, it's not good for children to sleep late."
Ruan Qing blurted out the words of concern for the child.
But none of them knew what she really wanted.
Yu Zhi held back her tears and ran back to her room.
She was sad and a little angry, but she didn't know who to blame.
To be precise, she doesn't seem to be blaming anyone.
Mom and Dad forgot their commitment to her sister because she was sick, but why... It happened at this time.
She had been looking forward to the birthday with her parents for seven years, and finally came to an empty joy.
The author has something to say: Don't panic, everything has a brother.
By the way, guess what questions did you ask with the book when you got home
