In the end, the staff gave Polaroids to all three, and Chu Xiaoxiao, Chu Xiaoyi and Liang Shuangqi each got their photos and completed their trip to the zoo successfully.
After visiting the zoo, Chu Xiaoyi didn't go home for a while, and was flying around to busy schedules until one day when he received a video call from his sister. He couldn't help but look surprised: "I haven't written a daily newspaper today."
Chu Xiaoyi mistakenly thought that she came to urge the daily newspaper, and it was quite strange why she suddenly played the video.
Chu Xiaoxiao has always been to the Three Treasures Palace, she said solemnly: "When did you come back recently?"
"Not recently." Chu Xiaoyi turned his head and asked He Xin. He learned about his itinerary and explained helplessly, "I'm going to fly out of town soon..."
Chu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said solemnly, "I have something very important to discuss with you."
Chu Xiaoyi raised his eyebrows vigilantly: "...You want to trick me into making crafts again? You directly say what you want to do, let's discuss it through video now."
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at his brother with a bewildered look on his face. The other party really didn't understand anything. She widened her eyes in dissatisfaction and reminded: "Have you forgotten what day is coming?"
Chu Xiaoyi: "What day?"
Chu Xiaoxiao: "Mom is going to celebrate her birthday at home this year!"
Chu Xiaoyi was stunned when he heard the words, he quickly switched to the calendar page to check, and he realized that it was Xiao Bi's birthday soon. He had set a birthday reminder, but there was still time before his mother's birthday, so the program didn't start. If he didn't think about it until his eyes, he might not be able to fly back from out of town on his birthday.
Chu Xiaoxiao obviously has a much better memory than her elder brother. She is upright and small, and she has an orderly manner: "Let's discuss what to give my mother. Dad said he has plans, so let's discuss it..."
As a socialite, Chu Xiaoxiao is well aware of the importance of giving gifts. She relies on fruit snacks to connect the show team, and she also knows that she must advance and retreat with her brother when it comes to her mother's birthday gift. She was in the same position as her cheap brother, the gifts they prepared couldn't be too different, and Dad was not the same as them.
Chu Xiaoyi was extremely ashamed. He didn't expect to ask his sister to remind him about this, and he wondered: "How did it go last year?"
Chu Xiaoyi: Why do I seem to have lost my memory and can't remember anything
Chu Xiaoxiao glanced at him speechlessly, and said lightly, "Mom was at school last year. She was very busy that day and didn't celebrate her birthday at home."
Xiao Bi was leading the third year of high school last year. She belonged to the earth not to explode and the third year of high school to not have a holiday. She had no time for her birthday. Her students blessed her at school, but she didn't stay home long that day.
Chu Xiaoyi suddenly realized that he sent a message to his mother last year to wish him well, no wonder he was not impressed. He counted two years forward, that is, when he made the homeless barbecue pork, he didn't contact his family at all, and he didn't know his parents' birthdays. It was better for his mother to give birth to a piece of barbecue pork.
Chu Xiaoyi remembered the problems left over from history, he couldn't help but humbly asked for help: "Then what did you give last year?"
Chu Xiaoxiao: "I sang an English song to my mother."
Chu Xiaoyi understood, this is the child's blessing method, she can't do much, and singing performance is also a form. Since Chu Xiaoxiao had used singing skills before, he used a song to celebrate his mother's birthday, which was a little repetitive.
Facing his series of questions, Chu Xiaoxiao finally couldn't help but ask: "Do you know what mom wants?"
Chu Xiaoyi said with a headache: "How can I know for a while, you at least meet her at home every day..."
Chu Xiaoxiao heard that he was going to throw the blame, and immediately said seriously: "Then you knew her twenty years before me! How did you all live?"
Chu Xiaoyi was stunned by the questioning on the spot. He looked dazed for a while, and hesitantly said, "We... don't have a good time?"
Chu Xiaoyi desperately recalled the scenes of his childhood, but he only had pictures of his birthday when he was five or six years old, and he was not very impressed with his parents' birthdays. Adults no longer seem to need the so-called sense of ritual, and the birthdays of middle-aged people are not something to celebrate. They are always spent in a bland way, and only the birthdays of children and the elderly will be remembered.
Chu Xiaoyi thought about the 80th birthday of his grandparents, but he didn't even think about Xiao Bi's birthday. He seems to have celebrated his mother a few times when he was young, but with the advent of rebellious adolescence, some things inexplicably disappear. Parents say that they don't have to celebrate birthdays, and there is really little formality for birthdays at home.
Chu Xiaoxiao is more than five years old now, and of course she feels that birthdays are very important, which is still new to her. Seeing that the cheap brother had no constructive comments, she had no choice but to say: "I always feel that videos with you are a waste of family traffic..."
Chu Xiaoxiao: Why don't you know anything? You obviously outlived me!
Chu Xiaoyi couldn't explain adult numbness to her, so he could only embarrassedly said, "Let me think about it first, and I'll try to come back and discuss it with you."
After Chu Xiaoyi hung up the phone, he didn't know what his mother wanted for a long time. Xiao Bi is a person with very low material desires. She doesn't have so many demands on others. From another point of view, she is not easy to please. She has always been a reserved and stable character. The most chaotic days are when the father and son are fighting at home, which is probably the time when she breaks down the most.
The gradual reconciliation between Chu Xiaoyi and his father Chu Jiadong was the result of each taking a step back. They all made more or less mistakes, and finally found a compromise. Chu Xiaoyi didn't know how to mention the past to his mother. He knew that he had hurt his mother unconsciously, but he couldn't find the opportunity to reveal his apology. It was strange to mention it suddenly in daily life.
Xiao Bi is like a quiet and sensible classmate in the past class. She will not embarrass people directly, nor express her opinions violently, so she is always ignored. Chu Xiaoyi subconsciously felt that his mother would always tolerate him, and then he would recklessly run away from home, perhaps thinking that he would be forgiven by her for everything he did.
Now that Chu Xiaoyi wants to make up for it, he realizes that what he can do for his mother is limited. She is not lacking materially and spiritually, and she is a woman who is independent and strong enough, making Chu Xiaoyi unable to start and a little powerless.
Fortunately, Chu Xiaoyi now has a younger sister. He went home and held a meeting with Chu Xiaoxiao to seriously discuss the preparations for his mother's birthday present.
Chu Xiaoxiao no longer has expectations for her brother. She has some ideas recently and suggested: "I plan to make a commemorative book to record our memories with my mother. You can make a copy and we will divide it into two volumes."
Xueba Chu Xiaoxiao took out her semi-finished commemorative book and gave it to her brother Xueba for reference. She was so benevolent and righteous that she nearly took out the correct answer and asked him to copy the homework directly. Chu Xiaoyi flipped through her memorial book and browsed the pages with pictures and texts. If you ignore her soul painting skills, this is indeed a very thoughtful gift.
Chu Xiaoxiao made the second volume. She recorded it according to the time. Chu Xiaoyi was born earlier than her, and of course was in charge of making the first volume. She is currently the publisher and cover designer of the commemorative book, and Chu Xiaoyi is the editor in charge.
After reading the sample of his sister's memorial album, Chu Xiaoyi suddenly realized something was wrong and reminded him, "Wait, but you only write about five years at most, but I want to write about twenty-five years?"
Chu Xiaoyi: The workload is quite different, I have five times more than you!
Chu Xiaoxiao blinked and said innocently: "Can't blame me for this? Who made you live so long."
When Chu Xiaoyi heard the words, he immediately wanted to pinch her little face angrily: "How do you talk..."
When Chu Xiaoxiao saw that the cheap brother was looking for trouble again, the two brothers and sisters immediately formed a ball on the sofa, calmed down after the scuffle, and sat at the table together to make their own commemorative albums.
Chu Xiaoyi has almost endless questions. Every time he draws two strokes, he has to talk to his sister and ask her for her opinion on the memorial album, which makes the little girl upset.
Chu Xiaoxiao wanted to concentrate on her work. She didn't like the feeling of being interrupted frequently, so she immediately jumped off the chair to draw a clear distance from him, and said sternly: "We go back to the house to create, and we can't always interrupt each other!"
When Chu Xiaoyi saw her running away, he sneered childishly: "I don't even care to create with you!"
The short-lived alliance between the brothers and sisters disintegrated in an instant.
It didn't take long for Chu Xiaoxiao to draw the first edition attentively in the room. She enthusiastically held the commemorative book and went to Chu Xiaoyi's room to inspect the progress, only to find that he was lying on the bed with a corpse!
Chu Xiaoyi's memorial book was placed on the table casually. He covered his head tightly with a quilt, only showing his feet in dark socks, looking like he was taking a nap.
Chu Xiaoxiao caught her brother being lazy, she put her memorial book away, and immediately jumped onto the bed and lifted the quilt in dissatisfaction, complaining, "Hey! I can't rest yet!"
Chu Xiaoxiao: What kind of brother is this? I just didn't stare for a while, and he blatantly started to fish!
Chu Xiaoxiao is so small and light, she can't lift the heavy quilt at all, she can only drop the quilt in discouragement, and a new idea is born in a flash. She opened the gap in the quilt, like a little mole that burrowed into the ground, crawled into the quilt with difficulty, and decided to give the cheap brother justice!
Chu Xiaoxiao worked hard to get in, but was surprised to find that his brother hadn't slept. She saw Chu Xiaoyi lying awake on the bed through the faint light that penetrated into the quilt. He used the quilt to create a dark space for himself to hide, not knowing what he was thinking quietly.
Chu Xiaoxiao arched the quilt into a small bun. The two of them were covered in the quilt and it was a little stuffy. She forcibly expanded the space in the quilt and said in surprise, "Are you going to suffocate yourself to death?"
Chu Xiaoyi was in a low mood. He didn't want to be caught by the camera, so he tightly covered himself and said in a muffled voice, "I can't make a memorial book..."
Chu Xiaoxiao guessed that he was going to give up halfway, and immediately persuaded him: "You can compress it, don't write so much!"
Chu Xiaoxiao only thinks that the cheap brother dislikes too much work, so he refuses to make it, and would rather stand his body in the bed.
Chu Xiaoyi was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "No, I don't think there is anything to remember. All I left to my mother are bad memories..."
"..." Chu Xiaoxiao didn't expect him to say this, she was dumbfounded and at a loss.
Chu Xiaoyi smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't study well. I was mischievous every day. I was still making a lot of trouble at home in high school. It seems that I really didn't do anything serious."
Chu Xiaoxiao didn't know anything about the family's past. All adults avoided the wound on purpose. She had vaguely felt the dispute between her brother and her father, but she didn't understand what it had to do with her mother. She often listened to her brother brag about himself, and it was rare to see him so lost, so she said blankly, "But didn't you always say that you are doing well now?"
Chu Xiaoyi: "I'm okay, but it's useless to my mother. She can have what I can give her, so it doesn't matter if I have me or not..."
Chu Xiaoyi is indeed popular now, but that is his own career, and his fame has brought nothing to his mother. Xiao Bi will never mention her eldest son in school, which will undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble. She has very few scenes during the show, and occasionally the show team will code. Some netizens think that Auntie is pretty, but they can't always see her frontal shots, which is even a little regrettable.
Chu Xiaoyi earns a lot of money, but Xiao Bi is not a material person either. She is quite low-key in terms of food and clothing expenses, and her income as a teacher in a famous school is not bad. Even if it is not as high as that of a star, she is good enough among ordinary people to live well in the imperial capital. From the perspective of family background alone, Xiao Bi is even stronger than Chu Jiadong, her grandparents are more educated than grandparents, and her ancestors also have some prestige.
Chu Xiaoyi felt that her mother was completely full, and if she hadn't given birth to herself, she would have had a smooth life. My sister can bring her some happiness, but he seems to only bring her headaches and troubles
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Shiluer's elder brother, she had always hated him, but now seeing the other person so frustrated, she held his fingers in a panic, and said at a loss, "You suddenly finished my words, I don't even know what to say..."
Chu Xiaoyi used to be arrogant and smug, and Chu Xiaoxiao could beat him a word or two. Now that he has finished her way, she has nowhere to go. He belied himself so low that even she couldn't stand it.
Chu Xiaoxiao held her brother's two fingers with her small hands. She saw him hiding under the quilt and standing upright, but she didn't know how to encourage him to cheer up.
