Chapter 6:

The Yu family said they could stay for half a month during this vacation. Hearing this 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 back to her and used new stationery at school.
When the same table saw her stationery box, she exclaimed beautifully, "One by one, this stationery box looks so good, where did you buy it? I want it too."
"Mum bought it from another place."
"Ok!"
Yu Zhiyi’s tablemate now is the little girl with mushroom head back then. She has a very cute name-Qiao Lezhi.
Alias, Qiao Lezi.
Qiao Lezhi reached into the desk, touched it a few times, and finally took out a transparent bag, "I remember tomorrow is your birthday, but if you don't come to school on Saturday, I will give you a gift first. Now, I wish you a happy birthday in advance."
"Thank Jojo."
They had been in the same class for six years and had a good time at ordinary times. Qiao Lezhi gave her a small gift when she first learned about her birthday, and she naturally wanted to pay it back.
Come and go, every birthday interactive gift, they are ordinary small objects, but full of heart.
When returning home from school, Shi Yi asked how she planned to celebrate her birthday tomorrow?
"Your parents are back this year, they are going to celebrate your birthday, right?"
"Yes, Mom and Dad also said they would buy me a birthday cake."
"Oh... I don't need to buy it this year."
When Yu Zhi was a child, her grandmother would not buy her a cake for her birthday. It's not that it's bad for her, but the old people have had too many hard days and feel that it is not worthwhile to buy cakes, and would rather buy more chicken, duck and fish for the children.
But the children all think that for a birthday is to eat cake, and it is not a birthday if you don’t eat cake. So Shi Yi took out his pocket money to buy small cakes for her.
Yu Zhiyi is full of joy now, because her parents promised to buy her a big cake tomorrow, which can be shared among many people.
The more I think about it, the more I look forward to it, grabbing Shi Yi's palm with both hands, and sincerely inviting, "Brother, then you will come to my house to eat cake with Aunt Ning and Uncle."
"Okay, but they still have to work during the day and have to wait until after get off work."
"No problem! Mom and Dad explained that they would go to the city to buy delicious food during the day and have dinner at night."
This is the first birthday that her parents have personally accompanied her in seven years. Yu Zhiyi was very happy and got up early.
At breakfast, she heard her parents discuss what to buy in the city for a while. She pricked her ears, and smiled when she heard her mother's reminder to "buy cakes and gifts one by one".
When Yu Kai and Ruan Qing went out, Yu Xinyan clamored to be with her parents, and they had to bring this clingy little guy.
Yu Zhi has a lot of homework. After her parents go out, she stays at home to catch up.
Grandma came in with the egg and rolled around her, "Eating this egg, there is no disease, no disaster, and peace."
This is a habit handed down by the older generations. Every birthday, grandma would do this, saying it would bring blessings.
Yu Zhiyi likes this habit of celebration, because it represents her birthday wishes.
She was relatively slow in learning, and she was also very slow in doing questions. It was already afternoon when she finished her homework.
She went to the door and turned around, never waiting for her parents to return.
"When will you come back..." I really want to know when my parents will be able to take the cake home.
But she waited and waited, and when it was getting dark, she only waited for a call.
"Mom, Yanyan fell ill suddenly. We are in the hospital. You can take them one by one to finish the meal first. Don't wait for us." The parents on the other side of the phone told her grandmother like this.
"Is the kid okay?"
"Acute gastroenteritis, the doctor has prescribed the medicine, don't worry."
They called and Yu Zhiyi heard them all.
She still asked: "What's wrong with my sister?"
Grandma touched her head and sighed, "My sister is sick, they may come back later, are you hungry? Grandma will cook for you first."
Seeing her grandmother entering the kitchen from the back, she felt bitter and couldn't tell the feeling.
It was getting dark early in winter, and the couple had already returned home from get off work.
Seeing Shiyi at home alone, Ning Suya put down her bag and walked towards him, "Today is the 11th birthday, why are you alone at home?"
"I don't know, the parents of Eleven don't seem to have come back." He secretly went to the yard opposite and looked twice. He didn't hear any sound, and he didn't feel embarrassed to move forward.
As soon as the voice fell, a small head popped out of the door before it could be closed.
When I first walked in, my father found her, "One by one, come in."
Yuzhi pursed his lips, walked two steps into the room, looked at the three of them, and immediately lowered his head to apologize, "Uncles and aunts, brothers, I'm sorry, my parents have not come back, so I can't invite you to eat cakes."
She broke her promise to everyone and felt very sorry.
Shi's parents didn't expect the little girl's appearance to apologize to them, and immediately laughed, "I think it's 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 will be back later." They thought the child was anxious for his birthday, so they coaxed her with nice words.
Yu Zhi dropped his head, neither agreed nor refuted.
When Mom and Dad knew her temperament, the two went into the kitchen with a smile and started preparing dinner.
Without the attention of adults, she slowly walked to Shi Yi and shouted, "Brother."
Shi Yi put down the game console in his hand, and when he stood up, he rubbed her head again, "Go to my room and get a present."
There is a thick book in the center of the clean desk. The dark blue cover is particularly prominent.
Yu Zhiyi glanced at the person beside him curiously.
Shi Yi pointed to the book and motioned her to pick it up.
The golden font "Book of Answers" on the cover.
"Brother, won't this be my gift?" There is a little hope in my heart, don't let her read a book!
She hates reading...
"Hmm." Shi Yi raised his chin without denying it.
Yu Zhi wanted to cry without tears, "Can I not accept this gift?"
Shi Yi's eyelids twitched, and he could completely guess what this little fool was thinking at the moment.
"Open it and take a look."
Under Shi Yi's instructions, Yu Zhi turned the pages of the book obediently.
Instructions for "Book of Answers": Clamp your hands in the book, close your eyes, concentrate on thinking about the problem, turn the pages of the book from back to front, and find the answers you need based on your own feelings.
"Huh..." It seemed to be different from the book she had imagined.
"Do you want to try?" Shi Yi asked her.
But for a while, she didn't seem to think of any problems.
Shi Yi said, "Just ask, when will the little fools become smart?"
"Book of Answers": [No one can guarantee]
Yu Zhiyi: "..."
Old heartbroken.
She snatched 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 pass 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 proud expression, Shi Yi brows and smiles, calmly replied: "It can't tell you the correct answer, but it can help you find the correct answer."
When you open this book, the answer subconsciously wants to see is your inner choice.
Yu Zhiyi went home with a gift to make room for this magical book. Just put it on, and then pulled it out.
She put her hands together and read a question silently.
The answer given in "Book of Answers" is: [Of course]

At 8 o'clock in the evening, my grandmother made another phone call, concerned about her sister's situation, and my parents said they were going home soon.
After nine o'clock in the evening, Yu Zhiyi was a little sleepy, still guarding the door.
"One by one, you go to bed first."
She stubbornly shook her head, "I want to wait for Mom and Dad, and my sister."
I don’t know if my sister’s illness is better, what kind of gifts and cakes my parents brought back to her.
At 9:30, Yu Kai and Ruan Qing finally came back with their little daughter, some plastic bags in their hands.
Grandma greeted her and cared about her 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 talkative child. Hearing that her mother had already answered "Sister is okay", she didn't ask about her sister's situation again. She moved her eyes to the bag brought back by her parents. They were all relatively flat. My pocket can’t hold a cake.
Ruan Qing put things on the table casually, and Yu Kai carried her little daughter to their room. 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 my sister, they all went outside to talk.
Grandma asked about the child’s illness. Ruan Qing explained:
When I went shopping in the city today, Yanyan saw the delicacies and clamored to eat. As a result, she broke her stomach and caught the cold because she was not used to the weather here. It was only when I went to the hospital to find out that it was acute gastroenteritis, which scared us."
"Then what about the cakes and gifts you bought one by one?"
"I didn't have time, there were only these dishes. I thought I would buy it later, but I didn't expect it would take so long."
Grandma knew that Yu Zhi had waited all day and hardly dared to see the child's disappointed look.
Ruan Qing glanced at the time and reminded: "Why haven't you slept yet? It's almost ten o'clock. Go back to the house and go to bed. It's not good for the kids to sleep late."
What Ruan Qing blurted out was also about caring for the child.
But they didn't know what she really wanted.
Yu Zhi held back his tears and ran back to his room.
She was sad and a little angry, but she didn't know who to blame.
To be precise, she didn't seem to blame anyone.
Mom and Dad forget their promises to her because their sister was sick, but why... it was this time.
For her birthday accompanied by her parents, she looked forward to it for seven full years, and finally waited for an empty joy.
The author has something to say: Don't panic, there is a brother for everything.
By the way, guess what questions were asked after going home one by one while holding the book?
