Chapter 117 Birthday Red Eggs and Longevity Noodles
Yu Zhile was silent for a few seconds.
At the time Xiaoyun mentioned, she and Sheng Lanyue were being chased by a group of hooligans.
At this time, she recalled the article Xiaoyun had posted before, and finally understood the reason why the status of those anchors' accounts fluctuated - the host himself was threatened with life.
[Xiao Yun, do you think you'll react if I put a knife on your neck?]
Yu Zhile asked consciously, and before Xiaoyun could answer, she couldn't help laughing.
[There is no relevant record at present, but the host can give it a try. ]
Xiaoyun answered in a serious tone, with no emotion in his mechanical voice.
Yu Zhile took a deep breath, turned over and buried his face in the pillow, not dwelling on this issue anymore.
After a long while, she returned to lying on her back and asked Xiaoyun about the problem of account login and logout.
[Host, you are the account itself, and exiting means death. ]
The problem had reached a dead end again. Yu Zhile sighed, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
When she regained consciousness, it was already the next morning.
"Sister, happy birthday." Yu Chi's childish voice sounded in her ears.
Yu Zhile held his face and said with a smile: "Thank you, the cutest little treasure in the world."
"Awake?" Yu Peilan probably heard the voice and pushed the door open. "Hurry up and get changed. The skirt next to you is a gift from your aunt and uncle."
After saying that, she waved to Xiaobao and took him out.
Yu Zhile's gaze shifted to the side, and a light blue floral skirt was spread flat on the inside of the bed.
The round neckline and slightly puffed sleeves, coupled with the pleats on the skirt, make her look more lively.
"Sister, you're beautiful." Yu Chi clapped his hands and shouted.
Yu Wanqin and Yu Peilan nodded in satisfaction and praised repeatedly. Even He Youan, who was making longevity noodles in the kitchen, leaned out to take a look.
When Yu Zhile returned to the living room, he found Sheng Lanyue coming over, holding a camera and introducing her to Yu Chi in a soft voice.
"Xiaobao, press the shutter button." Sheng Lanyue said softly.
With a click, this scene of Yu Zhile was captured on the film.
Afterwards, everyone sat around the dinner table.
In the middle of the table was a bowl of red eggs with the zodiac rabbit painted on them, and in front of each person was a bowl of steaming longevity noodles.
"Our Lele has grown up and is now 20 years old." Yu Wanqin said with a smile, "May you be safe, healthy and happy every year."
As she spoke, she picked up a red egg and rolled it back and forth on Yu Zhile's forehead several times.
Sheng Lanyue smiled gently, switched the film, focused and pressed the shutter to capture the warm scene.
Then, Yu Wanqin peeled the eggs, put them into Yu Zhile's bowl of noodles, and distributed red eggs to everyone.
"Happy birthday to you." Yu Peilan led the clapping and singing.
Everyone sang together, and finally said in unison: "Lele, happy 20th birthday."
Yu Zhile looked at them with a smile, clasped his fingers together under the table, and silently made a wish in his heart.
After singing the song, Yu Peilan stuffed two red envelopes into Yu Zhile's hands.
"A 20th birthday present." Yu Wanqin touched her hair and handed her a red purse containing a necklace.
Yu Chi ran into the room, took out a painting, handed it to her, and said, "Painting, this is for my sister."
"Thank you, Xiaobao. I like it very much." Yu Zhile leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
Yu Yue and Sheng Lanyue both gave books. The former gave a technical book related to the development of marine aquaculture, while the latter gave a collection of poems.
"I like them all." Yu Zhile's eyes were filled with tears.
Everyone responded with a smile and then started eating noodles.
He Youan got up early and bought chicken and bones from the slaughterhouse to make broth. He also made the longevity noodles himself.
The noodles were chewy and smooth, and the soup was rich and delicious. Yu Zhile enjoyed the meal happily and contentedly.
Today's itinerary was arranged by Yu Peilan. The first stop was another famous tourist attraction in the provincial capital - Nanshan Garden.
Sheng Lanyue drove a car to carry Yu Zhile, and He Youan drove a jeep to carry the others.
The air in the garden is fresh in the morning, the birds are singing, and the dew on the surface of flowers, plants and leaves is crystal clear.
Walking along the path, Yu Zhile felt a sense of leisure and comfort in his heart.
A few people were strolling in the garden, chatting and laughing, walking through the quiet winding corridors, passing through the mountains and hills, and approaching a courtyard planted with flowers.
"Le Le, take a photo here." Yu Peilan pulled Yu Zhile to the edge of the flowers.
Yu Wanqin agreed: "This place is beautiful, we should take a picture of it."
Along the way, the two found countless photo spots for Yu Zhile, and had used up a roll of film before entering the courtyard.
"It's really beautiful." Sheng Lanyue put on a new film, looked up and smiled.
Yu Zhile saw a hint of ridicule in his eyes and glanced at him.
The trip to the garden ended with one and a half rolls of film used up, and everyone set off for the cinema.
When they arrived, the movie they were going to watch was still more than twenty minutes away from starting, so Yu Zhile and Sheng Lanyue suggested going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy soda and snacks.
The two walked side by side and talked about the book they read yesterday.
After the topic was over, Sheng Lanyue said, "I received a notice to leave for Beijing in advance, and bought a train ticket for tomorrow's noon."
"In such a hurry?" Yu Zhile stopped and asked in surprise.
Sheng Lanyue smiled and said, "The editor has made some new changes to the script of the stage play. Some roles have been added and they need to be recast. She asked me to hurry back."
"Then I wish you a successful election." Yu Zhile said with a smile.
At the seafood barbecue meeting, Sheng Lanyue heard the plan of the Haiyu Village sideline group and said, "I'm waiting to eat your canned food in Jing City."
"It's more than just cans." Yu Zhile said confidently.
The two smiled at each other and continued walking forward.
At this time, Yu Peilan and Yu Wanqin looked at their receding backs with complicated feelings.
Both my aunt and my sister-in-law are military wives. They don't want their daughter to follow in their footsteps and live a life of fear and worry for her husband from the moment she opens her eyes.
"Xiaosheng is in good condition and a very gentle person." Yu Wanqin shook her head and sighed.
He Youan looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, staring at the ticket window not far from the car.
Yu Peilan held Yu Wanqin's hand and said, "My daughter is grown up now and has her own thoughts. Let her make her own decision."
"My sister likes me." Yu Chi suddenly said, making everyone laugh.
Ten minutes later, Yu Zhile and Sheng Lanyue came back with soda and popcorn, and everyone entered the venue.
The film has a fast-paced story and vivid characters. Everyone watched it very seriously and time passed quickly.
When the show ended, the sun climbed overhead and it was time for dinner.
"Let's go out to eat to celebrate Lele's 20th birthday." Yu Peilan put her arm around Yu Zhile's shoulders. "Let's go to the state-owned restaurant in the south of the city, and then go shopping in the department store."
The provincial capital is large and has four state-owned restaurants. Due to the different levels of chefs, prices vary greatly, and Chengnan Restaurant is the most popular one.
Unexpectedly, they saw Ning Tan and a pregnant woman walking from another direction at the hotel entrance.
"Teacher Qiao." Yu Zhile greeted Sheng Lanyue.
Qiao Yu is a very gentle teacher. He never yells at students and his lectures are very interesting. He is the most popular teacher in the school.
"Hey, you guys are still so close." Qiao Yu's tone was still as gentle as before, "This is my friend——"
"We know each other. Brother He and Brother Yu are my former comrades-in-arms." Ning Tan interrupted her and explained, "Teacher Qiao went to Huaxi Village to interview Du Nanzhi. I had something to ask you, so I sent her back by the way."
"So you two know each other. What a fate." Qiao Yu chuckled.
Yu Zhile suddenly remembered that Chen Zhao accidentally bumped into a pregnant woman, and said, "It turns out that Teacher Qiao is really in Haidong Town. My friend almost bumped into you last time. Are you okay?"
"Were you hit? Do you want to be sent to the hospital for a check-up?" Ning Tan asked.
"It's okay." Qiao Yu touched her belly. "I went to the hospital and the baby is healthy."
Yu Zhile and Ning Tan breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
After chatting for a while, they went into the restaurant together and sat down at a large table.
Yu Wanqin and others asked Yu Zhile to order the food. She ordered eight dishes and one soup, mainly light flavors.
When paying, He Youan and Ning Tan argued for a long time, but in the end Ning Tan got the first place.
"Oh?" Qiao Yu suddenly realized, "Today is the 7th. Is this Zhile's birthday?"
Yu Zhile smiled and nodded.
"I went to Huaxi Village for an interview, and Captain Du gave me some flowers. Today I am offering them to you." Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Happy 20th birthday to you."
As she said this, she was about to stand up and go to the car to get it.
"If it's not convenient for you, I can go. Which one do you want to take?" Ning Tan stopped him.
Qiao Yu replied, "I remember Zhile likes the color blue, so take that hydrangea basket, it just matches her outfit today."
Ning Tan turned and left, and soon returned with a flower basket beautifully decorated with hydrangeas.
"Thank you, Teacher Qiao." Yu Zhile thanked him.
Afterwards, Yu Peilan talked about some interesting things in the factory, and Qiao Yu also talked about some interesting moments during the interview.
The atmosphere at the table was very harmonious and every dish tasted good, so we had a very pleasant meal.
Ning Tan asked about their future arrangements and then sent Qiao Yu home first.
The three cars left in two directions, and Yu Zhile and others headed towards the department store.
Yu Peilan and Yu Wanqin took Yu Zhile to visit the mall. After a round, even Yu Chi was holding a bag of biscuits in his hands.
The two of them worked together to buy five or six sets of clothes for Yu Zhile, and Yu Zhile bought some supplements for Teacher Qiao.
"Let's go back and buy that pair of leather shoes." Yu Peilan thought about it and stopped Yu Zhile at the door. "Your pair is old anyway."
Yu Zhile looked at the brand new leather shoes and laughed, "I bought them at the beginning of the year and haven't worn them many times."
"Buy it. Your father has some private money anyway." Yu Wanqin made the decision.
The aunt and sister-in-law did what they said and asked He Youan and others to go back to the car to put their things, and they took Yu Zhile back to the counter.
In the end, the three of them left the mall with a pair of small leather shoes and two silk scarves.
On the way home, Yu Zhile slumped in the passenger seat, too lazy to even move his fingers.
"Thank you for your hard work today, birthday boy." Sheng Lanyue teased.
Yu Zhile glanced at him lazily.
Soon, the car stopped at the gate of the compound.
Yu Zhile immediately saw Grandpa Fang and Fang Zhuo under the shade of the tree.
