Chapter 40 Ah, a hovercar?
Surrounded by a large crowd, Qi Youyu's hands were almost raw from wrapping the fillings. The child was giggling one second and then stopped the next.
Fortunately, Zheng Shoucheng helped them retreat in time; otherwise, the grandfather and grandson might not have been able to get off work smoothly through the crowd.
She returned home less than two hours after the sale started. Qi Youyu was both surprised and at a loss, not expecting her memory bread to be more popular than the last time.
The only downside was that we didn't bring enough ingredients, so many of the older brothers and sisters didn't get to eat, which was a real shame.
Special police remained at the scene to evacuate the crowd, while the special operations team escorted Yu Yu home.
"Uncle, we're home," the child asked politely. "Would you like to come up for a drink of water?"
Captain Jiang: "Yu Yu, just call me Uncle."
My cousin Meng Xinyun clearly knew Captain Jiang. She said in a familiar tone, "Yuyu, this is Uncle Jiang, who is also my sister's college classmate."
Qi Youyu raised her round head and asked, "Is Uncle Jiang the same age as my sister?"
He's a year younger than me.
Yu Yu Yuan's clear, childlike eyes widened in surprise. She looked intently at the remarkably mature Captain Jiang and offered him a heartfelt word of advice:
"Uncle, don't rush to grow up, give yourself a break."
Team members: Hahahaha.
Captain Jiang, who has looked like he's thirty-eight since he was eighteen: ...
He wanted to, too, but the whole family shared the same face. Alas, no one understood his grief and indignation.
Yu Yu asked again, "Uncle, are you going upstairs to drink yogurt?"
"No, we're leaving now."
Qi Youyu looked around for a while, but didn't see any waiting car: "Are you going to walk home yourselves?"
Captain Jiang: "I guess so."
In three hours, the team members disguised as food stall owners will have to change shifts. He has to stay here until midnight today and has no time to go back to the team.
Qi Youyu was a little worried; it was too pitiful for her to walk back alone in such cold weather.
She waved her little hand and said, "Then ride Little Flower home."
As soon as she finished speaking, the little flower in front of everyone transformed into a tandem bicycle. The bicycle was brand new and beautiful, made of sky blue and silver, with a sunflower fisherman's hat in the front basket.
A crack appeared on Captain Jiang's usually calm face.
The car version of Xiaohua is banned from the road. Now Xiaohua can only go out by bicycle because tricycles and electric vehicles also need to be registered.
Xiao Hua's transformation was so sudden that not only were the people present stunned, but the netizens watching the live stream were also caught off guard.
[Little Flower's transformation is so smooth! She can even transform into a bicycle!]
【!! I remember now, it's space folding technology, right!】
So, how many forms does Little Flower actually have? Can Little Flower show us, Fishy Baby?
Meng Xinyun's heart tightened, and she and Captain Jiang exchanged a quick glance, both understanding each other without saying a word.
Captain Jiang readily agreed: "Thank you, Yu Yu. I'll bring your little flower back later."
"Okay, bye-bye."
Captain Jiang carried Xiaohua up the stairs. He had originally carried her on his shoulders, but later he felt it was completely unnecessary.
He could lift the little flower with just one finger.
When they got downstairs, the team members surrounded Xiaohua, touching and looking at her all over. Suddenly, Xiaohua made a sound, startling them.
"Please tell me your destination." A light blue screen rose up at the front of the car.
The team members standing nearby exclaimed, "Wow, this is so advanced! They can even hide things in the front of the vehicle!"
"Captain, how about I run this for you?"
Captain Jiang gave him a cold look: "If you keep talking nonsense, go back and do thirty extra laps."
The restless team members fell silent.
Captain Jiang stared at the screen, leaned closer, and said in a deep voice, "Destination: National Academy of Sciences."
Xiaohua: "Route planning successful. We expect to arrive at our destination in forty minutes."
The screen then switches to a panoramic map, which, like some professional navigation software, offers traffic alerts, multiple route planning options, real-time voice prompts, and more.
The flower was too light and airy, and Captain Jiang was hesitant to sit on it, afraid of flattening it.
After calling Zheng Shoucheng for instructions, he selected a more reliable team member to ride the bikes one in front and one behind him.
Captain Jiang hadn't ridden a bicycle for many years and was worried that his skills had become rusty and he wouldn't be able to maintain his balance. However, after getting on the bike, he was surprised to find that his worries were completely unnecessary.
Even a pig could reach its destination smoothly by pedaling the vehicle, because Xiao Hua is fully autonomous and its stability is unmatched.
Even stranger, Xiaohua's weight changed. When he carried her downstairs, she was as light as paper, but after they started walking, she suddenly gained weight.
Team member Jiang and his teammates rode and observed the surroundings as they went.
The teammate was riding in the back position, and looking bored, he turned his head and almost popped his eyes out.
Why are the wheels off the ground?
Ahhhh, the car is hovering!!
"Captain, Captain! Look down!" a teammate cried out in a hoarse voice, "It looks like we're flying!!"
Detecting that the two humans were too excited and their heartbeats were too fast, Xiaohua gave them a gentle reminder:
"It's not advisable to whisper while cycling, as the cold air can enter your stomach through your mouth and potentially have a negative impact on your health. It's recommended to keep quiet."
Captain Jiang broke out in a cold sweat, his face turned slightly pale, and he gripped the handlebars tightly.
"Okay, thanks for reminding me, but—could you please stop flying for now? There's a red light ahead."
Xiao Hua spoke in a very AI-like voice: "Please don't worry, I will definitely arrive at my destination within the planned time. Flying does not violate land traffic rules."
It had reviewed all the questions in the theory test and was familiar with traffic laws; it knew that flying was not illegal.
If it waits patiently at the traffic lights, it certainly won't be able to reach the National Academy of Sciences, which is 30 kilometers away, within 40 minutes.
Xiao Hua sped through a series of red lights, and the traffic police motorcycle couldn't catch up with her. Captain Jiang watched helplessly as the flashing police motorcycle got further and further away from them.
At the entrance of the National Academy of Sciences, a group of bigwigs, led by Zheng Shoucheng, anxiously awaited their arrival.
As a cacophony of sirens drew closer, Xiao Hua looked up and saw two special operations team members slowly descending.
"They're here! They're here!!"
"ah."
"Hovercar!!!"
"Professor, Professor, please don't faint."

Meanwhile, at the Yan family's residence.
"Why don't you like these shoes anymore?" Yan Xingli asked, looking at the little leather shoes in his hand with a puzzled expression.
These little leather shoes, inlaid with eighteen pearls, were bought by him when he took Yu Yu shopping before the show was recorded. She took a liking to them at first sight.
As a result, the child only wore it a few times before refusing to wear it anymore.
Yu Yu kept her head down, watching her chubby little feet bloom, without even looking up:
"Uncle, these shoes have expired and can't be worn anymore."
Yan Xingli frowned: "How could it expire in less than a month?"
Qi Youyu lifted one foot: "But it's too crowded."
Yan Xingli paused for a moment, carefully compared the shoe sizes, and suddenly realized that the child seemed to have grown taller.
As he grew taller, his feet naturally got bigger too.
The grandmother and grandson live together every day, and you wouldn't really notice how much the child has grown if you didn't observe carefully. However, he has gained a lot of weight, and the five chubby dimples on the back of his hands are big enough to raise fish.
He takes such good care of it.
Yan Xingli smiled slightly, squatted down and pinched the child's chubby cheeks: "Then shall we go and buy a new pair of shoes?"
Yu Yu grabbed Yan Xingli's clothes and, taking advantage of the situation, said, "I want new clothes too."
"...Aren't there still a lot of new clothes in the closet with the tags still on?"
Yu Yu straightened her back: "Those clothes are too childish. I'm going to be Boss Yu Yu soon, so I need to dress more like a boss."
They arranged to meet with Director Zheng Shoucheng at the Chinese Academy of Sciences after the broadcast tonight to discuss patent rights.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Yu Yu will become the world's richest three-year-old tonight.
On such an important day, the child naturally wants to dress up nicely.
Yan Xingli put himself in the child's shoes. If he were the one signing the contract with the government today, he would probably be hundreds of times more arrogant than the child.
"You're right."
Yan Xingli took the car keys and had the child put on his little leather boots: "Let's go now."
As soon as the grandmother and grandson got out of the car and entered the mall, they saw a tall boy with a cat perched on his head, panting as he walked out, his hand gripping the leash tightly.
Yan Xingli was stunned; that little cat must weigh about fifteen or sixteen pounds.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of awe; this guy had a really tough neck.
Yu Yu's bright black eyes were fixed on her, and she excitedly shook her uncle's hand, shouting:
"Uncle, the kitten is driving a human towards us!"
The human cat owner, who was being driven, stumbled and almost fell face-first to the ground. He glanced up resentfully, hoping that his feline overlord would be sensible and move his noble rear end.
Feeling deeply sympathetic, Yan Xingli covered the child's mouth and quickly retreated.
The grandmother and grandson visited a slightly out-of-the-way shopping mall. It happened to be a weekday, so there weren't many shoppers. With Meng Xinyun and bodyguards in the shadows protecting them, their safety wasn't a concern for the time being.
"Wow, Uncle, there's a KFC here too."
"Yeah." Yan Xingli glanced at the not-so-crowded KFC and casually asked, "Yu Yu, do you want to eat there?"
No, I didn't.
Although the child was a little tempted, she remembered that after buying clothes, they were going to have a seafood feast on the fifth floor, so she had to save room for the seafood.
Qi Youyu: "Uncle, why aren't the KFCs together?"
"KFC is a chain store; essentially, it's one company."
Should the family continue to live separately?
Qi Youyu couldn't understand. She stroked her chin and sighed, "Then they must not live together. They must not get along. They are incompatible."
Yan Xingli was taken aback, then laughed: "You even know about Bazi (Chinese astrology)?"
My grandmother taught me.
Business people tend to pay attention to the Eight Characters and Feng Shui. Sometimes when Yan Yuanqing encounters bad luck, he will mutter that it is not a good day to go out, or that his Eight Characters are incompatible with someone else's.
Over time, Yu Yu absorbed everything she heard.
"Um, hello everyone."
A very socially awkward voice appeared trembling behind me.
The grandmother and grandson turned their heads and found Meng Xinyun reaching out to stop the poor guy who had been walking the cat on their heads.
Yan Xingli, puzzled, replied, "Hello."
Not long ago, the cat that was driving the human reluctantly snuggled in its owner's arms.
Yu Yu tilted her head, looking concerned, and asked, "Big brother, is the kitten tired from driving?"
Upon hearing this question, the unfortunate pet owner felt his neck and shoulders hurt again, and he quickly replied, "It's fine, I'm the one who's having problems."
The other person lowered their eyes shyly: "Yuyu, I want to ask, is your memory bread useful for the elderly?"
Fish: "Of course it's useful."
The unlucky pet owner slowly raised his head, as if a light had been ignited in his eyes: "My grandmother has Alzheimer's disease, which is commonly known as senile dementia... Actually, I bought your memory bread last time. After eating it, I passed my teacher qualification exam. My memory improved a lot."
"So, I'd like to buy some for my grandma to try." The other person's attitude was extremely sincere. "Yuyu, could you please sell me some memory bread?"
Alzheimer's disease is an incurable disease. Patients lose not only their memory, but also their gradually deteriorating physical functions.
Watching a loved one transform from a gentle and tolerant person into someone irritable, rude, and devoid of self-awareness, unable to perceive the outside world, is an unbearable torment for the family.
So when the unlucky pet owner Xiao Zhai discovered that memory bread could improve memory, he almost immediately had the idea of trying it out as a last resort.
[Oh, so you wanted memory bread, huh? But... oh well, never mind, I'll just leave it at that.]
[Sigh, those who don't have Alzheimer's patients in their families really can't understand the suffering of their loved ones. This disease is so agonizing, which is why families try to seize every opportunity. Even if you think it's outrageous, please don't say it; as outsiders, we can't truly empathize.]
With Xiaohua not around, Yuyu didn't know what Alzheimer's disease was like. The only thing she was sure of was that memory bread was a healthy dessert on Cang'ai Planet.
She added the nutritional supplement that Ya Ya gave her to the flour; that kind of supplement is good for the brain.
"But there's no good food left at home."
Qi Youyu tried her best to think of a solution: "Once I've finished making it, I'll have Xiaohua give it to you, big brother."
Xiao Zhai's face lit up with joy: "That's great, thank you so much, Yu Yu. Give me your payment code and I'll pay you."
The child accepted the money without hesitation, and when he looked back, it was five hundred yuan!
Oh, a huge sum of money!

After buying clothes and shoes for the children, Yan Xingli drove to the restaurant where they had arranged to have a seafood feast. Seafood requires careful preparation, so the wait was quite long.
To keep the child entertained and to get her attention, Yan Xingli gently tapped the table.
Do you want to see birds fly?
Yu Yu looked up and said, "Uncle, don't bring the birds in. They don't like being in the house."
"I won't catch you, I'll conjure one up for you, watch carefully."
Bright lights shone in the private room. Yan Xingli found the right angle and made a gesture as if a bird was taking flight towards the wall.
His fingers were slender and long, and the shadow of the bird reflected on the wall was very vivid and lifelike.
Qi Youyu's eyes widened. She looked at her uncle, then at the shadow of the little bird flapping its wings on the wall.
The child was full of admiration and gave a thumbs up, praising, "Uncle, you're really something!"
Yan Xingli's eyes gleamed with smugness as he showed off, saying, "Look, this is what it means for a bird to fly."
"And this is a little rabbit."
"These are puppies and kittens."
"I'll teach you the simplest peacock."
Qi Youyu clapped her hands excitedly and said, "You're so amazing, Uncle! You must be a zookeeper!"
[Yan Xingli is doing well! Her skills in coaxing children have improved; she deserves praise!]
Are you sure it's him comforting the child, and not the child comforting him? *doge emoji*
[Hahaha, what a childish uncle!]
The door to the private room rang twice; it was the waiter bringing fruit and snacks before the meal.
Yan Xingli doesn't give her child too many snacks, worried that she won't be able to eat her main meals later, so she sets an example by not eating snacks herself.
Qi Youyu stared longingly.
I really want to eat crispy fried dough twists, crunchy corn chips, popcorn, sunflower seeds, and peanuts.
The child lowered his head and ate the mangosteen that Yan Xingli had peeled, his cheeks puffing out, his big eyes darting around.
"Uncle, would you like to see the peacock eat?"
"Um?"
Qi Youyu stood up, leaned her upper body on the large round table, gave Yan Xingli an OK sign, and took a small twisted dough stick from his plate with two fingers.
Fish opened its mouth wide and said with a grin, "The little twisted dough stick was eaten by the peacock!"
Yan Xingli: ? ? ? I was careless.
As her aunt watched this scene with a smile, Meng Xinyun felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She turned her back to the camera and answered the call.
A few seconds later, Meng Xinyun slowly turned around and solemnly interjected:
"Yu Yu, Xiao Xing, Director Zheng is on his way."
