Chapter 42 "Uncle, your kindergarten is so big!"...
Yan Xingli emerged from the bedroom with messy hair, carrying a vicious fat dog in one hand, his teeth clenched.
"Uncle, you're awake!" Qi Youyu ran up to him excitedly, eager to show off. "Do you like the puppy wake-up service?"
Yan Xingli clutched his throbbing ribs, grinding his molars as he asked, "Did you instigate this?"
"Yes, it's me." The little guy couldn't understand good or bad advice, and kept urging, "Uncle, don't sleep in, you won't have the energy to study in the afternoon."
Yan Xingli put down the fat dog who was nothing.
He scratched his head and reluctantly mumbled, "Okay."
I really want a vacation.
I don't want to do the problems.
Yan Xingli hadn't slept all night, and the dark circles under his eyes, combined with his listless appearance, gave him an air of utter helplessness and death.
At the dinner table, Su Yu was peeling shrimp for Yan Yuanqing and Yu Yu. The three of them ate with great relish, but Yan Xingli had a long face, which was completely out of place in this harmonious and pleasant atmosphere.
Qi Youyu looked at him with her big, clear eyes: "Uncle, why is your face like this again?"
Yan Yuanqing replied smoothly, "Yuyu, your uncle has this 'student-challenged face' face. You'll get used to it."
Yan Xingli muttered, "There are also academically challenged students who love learning; I just simply hate studying."
Little Flower, shaking its big head, cheerfully explained: "Aversion to learning refers to a negative attitude towards learning. Clinically, it manifests as refusing to go to school, skipping classes, dropping out of school, etc. It is common among students, accounting for 33% of the total number of students."
"Only 33%? It seems most people still love learning," Yan Yuanqing remarked.
Qi Youyu looked up: "Uncle, do you want to skip class?"
think!
In fact, there are things I didn't dare to do during my student days that I still don't dare to do now.
To put it bluntly, Yan Xingli is one of those honest people who keep clamoring to quit, but in reality, they just sit around doing nothing and get full attendance every month.
Yan Xingli forced a smile: "Skipping class is not good."
"Uncle, you look unhappy."
Qi Youyu thought for a moment, then hesitated before speaking, "Uncle, how about we skip class today? I'll ask for leave for you."
Yan Xingli's ears twitched, and the light in his eyes was comparable to 24K pure gold: "Really? Okay."
When he heard his child call Director Zheng to ask for a day off for him, the academically challenged uncle almost knelt down, grabbed his child's little legs, and shouted:
Thank you so much, godmother!
Fortunately, reason brought Yan Xingli back to his senses. He bent down, hugged the child tightly, grinned, and smiled like the silly boy next door:
"Thank you, Boss Fish."
Qi Youyu held her head high and waved her hand, saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing."
They completely forgot who was the culprit who forced him to do countless practice questions for the postgraduate entrance exam every day.
After finishing their meal, the fishmonger started announcing today's tasks. The restless kids still had to set up their stall today.
"Uncle, let's make memory bread together later."
Standing on the small ladder, the child chattered on and on, washing his hands repeatedly, saying, "Uncle, do you know? Many older brothers and sisters want to eat our memory bread."
"Let's cook the portion for the older boy from yesterday, and then we can go out."
Yan Xingli: "Did you ask Grandpa Zheng?"
Things are different now. Yu Yu's identity as a science advisor has been exposed, and he doesn't quite believe that Director Zheng can let Yu Yu set up a stall at will.
“I didn’t ask,” Yu Yu said proudly. “But Grandpa Zheng has already found a good place for us to sell food. He said we can sell whenever we want.”
Where?
"I don't know yet." The child shook his chubby hands dry. "It's not important."
Xiao Zhai gave so much; 500 yuan was enough to buy 100 steamed buns, and Yu Yu made 25 of each flavor.
This large order kept the child busy for more than two hours, and his little face turned as red as an apple from the heat.
Qi Youyu put the freshly baked bread into its belly and said with a serious face, "Little Flower, you can't fly this time."
"Okay, I won't fly."
Yan Xingli: "Speeding and running red lights are also prohibited."
"OK."
Meng Xinyun bent down and asked, "Yuyu, aren't you worried about Xiaohua going to such a far place alone?"
Xiao Hua is now the most desired super robot among children across the country. There is only one in the world, making it even more limited than a limited edition.
If it gets bumped or knocked over on the road, or if it gets stolen, the loss would be huge.
Qi Youyu raised her face: "Don't worry, Xiaohua is very capable, it will protect itself."
Xiaohua has never switched to a different battle mode, but her strength is undeniable.
Yan Xingli: "How about I go with Xiaohua? I can drive faster."
With her speed and mode of transportation restricted, Xiao Hua couldn't possibly outrun his four-wheeled vehicle.
"Need not."
Xiaohua glanced at him indifferently: "I'm faster than you."
Banquet Star Ceremony: ?
The chubby boy didn't appreciate it.
Xiao Hua was delivering food for the first time and was afraid of getting her red scarf dirty, so she changed into a different work uniform.
It was wearing Su Yu's unwanted down jacket, and its round head was adorned with a special helmet, making itself look quite presentable.
Robots delivering goods—that's another interesting aspect.
Director Zheng Xiaofeng made a quick decision, sending a cameraman to follow Xiaohua and setting up a separate live stream for her.
Everyone was waiting for the screen recording of Xiaohua transforming, but unexpectedly, Xiaohua did not switch forms.
It continues to run errands in its current form; now that it's a robot, it doesn't have to worry about traffic jams or waiting at red lights.
It quickly planned out the shortest route in its mind, and then, at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to perceive, it began to leap across rooftops and walls, heading straight for its destination, City C.
The live stream room, which had only a few viewers when it started, suddenly became lively, with everyone shouting "Wow!"
No, it ate several Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) and ran that fast, is it crazy?!
[Holy crap, the cameraman's expression when he flashed by just now was hilarious!]
[Hilarious! The cameramen on set can't keep up at all!]
Did the production team anticipate this all along, which is why they specially provided a car for the cameraman? Hahaha.
The executives of a company specializing in AI technology broke out in a cold sweat upon seeing this. A device that could transform, scale walls, and levitate—how could they possibly fight it? They didn't even know where to begin discussing cooperation.
"We have to try, even if it doesn't work out." Mr. Li, the head of the tech company, was determined. "I'll contact Mr. Yan first to sound him out."
Mr. Li's company has collaborated with Minghui Group, and he has some personal connections with Yan Shanyi.
Upon receiving Mr. Li's call, Yan Shanyi knew perfectly well why he was calling. She cut to the chase:
"For technical matters, you should contact Yu Yu to handle things; the child has his own team."
Mr. Li was taken aback by Yan Shanyi's directness. He wanted to ask a few more questions, but the phone was already busy.
In the general manager's office, Yan Shanyi lowered his eyes, stroking the contract that had already been printed out. After some hesitation, he assigned the tasks at hand and went alone to the airport to return to China.

Xiao Zhai works hard in S City, keeping only one-third of his monthly salary and sending the rest home to pay for his grandmother's medical treatment.
Since yesterday, he has received a lot of concern from friends and colleagues. Everyone is very kind and wanted to donate money to him, but he refused them all.
Even if Yu Yu's memory bread is useless, he will still do his best to take care of his grandmother.
Xiao Zhai gave Yu Yu a delivery address in the neighboring city of C.
Xiao Zhai received the shipping notification from Yu Yu in the afternoon. She thought that it would arrive at the earliest tomorrow morning. Since it was winter and food had a long shelf life, she didn't need to worry about the food spoiling.
To his surprise, not long after he hung up the phone with his family, his mother told him that the bread he had sent had arrived.
The delivery was made by a fat robot wearing clothes.
Xiao Zhai was astonished. The goods were delivered in just half an hour? Even local express delivery isn't this fast.
He asked his supervisor for leave and rushed home. He had a premonition that this might be a turning point, and he wanted to record it in video form.
On the other hand, the laboratory successfully synthesized a new material based on the ideas and methods provided by Yu Yu. However, due to slight discrepancies in certain steps, the material they synthesized was not as flexible as the protective shield on the bubble shield.
But compared to the previous blatant ignorance, achieving such results is already a huge improvement.
Soon, Bubble Shield will be successfully launched and gradually promoted.
Director Zheng said that sending Xiaohua to kindergarten was not just a casual remark. Not long after Xiaohua finished delivering the goods, her cousin Meng Xinyun came over.
"Yuyu, Director Zheng said the kindergarten has made arrangements, and Xiaohua can go to school tomorrow."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Hua, who was squatting next to the litter box scooping the poop, was caught off guard and froze. Qi Youyu slowly turned her face, sticking out her little belly, and asked:
"Sister, is Xiaohua really going to kindergarten?"
Meng Xinyun smiled gently: "Yuyu, didn't you promise Grandpa Zheng? If Xiaohua doesn't go to kindergarten, she'll have to go to prison for reform."
Xiao Hua was terrified. Although it was a robot that did not need food to survive, neither heat nor cold posed any threat to it.
But as the most versatile robot on Cang'ai Planet, how could it live in a prison? It would be so embarrassing if word got out.
It doesn't want to be decommissioned from its robot status.
"I want to go to kindergarten," Xiaohua said enthusiastically, holding up her litter scoop. "What do I need to prepare?"
Qi Youyu answered quickly: "Backpack!"
Meng Xinyun nodded with a smile: "Yuyu guessed right."
"Xiaohua, I have a small schoolbag. I'll lend you mine."
"Thank you, Master Yuyu."
The child hasn't started kindergarten yet, but Xiaohua has already experienced it first, Yan Xingli teased Xiaohua with schadenfreude.
"You're going to kindergarten tomorrow, do you want us to take you?"
Xiaohua shoved the litter scoop into his hand: "No need. After I leave, you take care of the little princess and the fat dog. Brush their fur three times a day, and make sure their breakfast and lunch are different and original."
"..."
Yan Xingli's smile gradually froze.
What was he laughing at?
Are you celebrating your return to the Sinjaku?

The next morning, the family of five appeared neatly at the kindergarten gate.
Kindergarten starts at 8:30. Qi Youyu watched the ongoing tug-of-war at the kindergarten gate and her heart clenched with anxiety.
"Uncle, a lot of children don't want to go to kindergarten. They are crying so pitifully."
She patted her small chest and said, "Oh dear, thank goodness I don't have to go up."
Yan Xingli covered his mouth and whispered to the child, "Don't be so smug, or Xiaohua won't go in."
To fit in with the group of children, Xiao Hua, who was carrying a small schoolbag, shrunk from a chubby little boy who was 1.2 meters tall to a tiny little bean who was 80 centimeters tall. If she were even flatter, she would look like a robot vacuum cleaner.
The two little ones stood hand in hand, and Yu Yu was actually a fingernail taller than Xiao Hua.
Yu Yu held Xiao Hua's hand tightly: "I'll take good care of things at home, so you can go without worry."
"Master Fish, I will reform myself properly." Little Flower grabbed the shoulder strap of her little schoolbag. "You can go now, I'm leaving too."
"Bye-Bye."
A mother worries when her child travels a thousand miles. Qi Youyu watched Xiaohua's small figure disappear into the distance, sniffling and calling out:
"Little Flower, I'll come pick you up, really!"
After all, they are close friends who spend every day together, so the child will definitely feel sad and uncomfortable being separated from them suddenly.
After seeing Xiaohua off, Yan Yuanqing and Su Yu went home first, while Yan Xingli took Yuyu for a stroll in the neighborhood to relax.
He pointed to the high school next to the kindergarten and said, "I used to study here."
Qi Youyu exclaimed, "Uncle, your kindergarten is so big!"
"...That's not a kindergarten."
Qi Youyu's attention had already wandered. She tilted her head, her little nose twitching, and exclaimed, "Ah, so sweet! There's sugar in the wind!"
The young woman on the street smelled wonderfully of perfume, and even the breeze seemed sweet.
The child tried to catch the wind with his hands and put it in his mouth, making an adorable sound: "Uncle, I'm eating a little cake, can you have one?"
*
Xiao Hua is an advanced intelligent robot. Not long after she arrived at the kindergarten, she was surrounded by curious human children.
"Xiaohua, can you eat fried chicken?"
"If you get angry, will you beat me up first, and then let out a stinky fart that kills me?"
Xiaohua: "..."
"Why are you called Little Flower, and not Little Black, Little White, Little Grass, Little Dog?"
Flower is always patient and gentle with human babies, but as more and more children surround her, the questions they ask become more and more outrageous.
The CPU in the small flower (likely referring to a product or service) overheated.
It turns out that the difference between raising one human cub and raising a bunch of human cubs is enormous.
"Little Flower, what talents do you have?"
After Little Flower finished demonstrating all its skills, it spoke in a weak and desperate voice, "I can read birth charts."
One child immediately made an eight with his hand: "Huahua, is my eight pretty?"
"Mine is prettier than yours!"
“It’s not this set of eight characters, it’s the birth date and time.” Another child squeezed in. “My grandma reads these for people every day, I know a lot about it.”
Xiaohua became interested: "Do you need me to take a look at it for you?"
The child nodded vigorously and then recited a string of birth dates and times.
Xiao Hua quickly shook her head: "No, this isn't a human's birth chart. Humans don't have such good fortune."
Upon hearing this, the child immediately showed an expression of admiration as if looking at a master: "Yes, yes, yes, this is my little Mimi's birth chart, hehehe."
"My mom says if you do good deeds, you'll be reborn as a chubby, happy baby in your next life~"
After finally getting through school, Xiaohua felt like she had been granted a pardon. Without waiting for Yuyu to pick her up, she obediently waited at the traffic light and rode herself home.
When Xiaohua got home in the evening, she didn't talk about kindergarten and sat on the sofa watching Peppa Pig.
If it could understand Peppa Pig, it would definitely understand the thought processes of kindergarten toddlers.
"Yuyu, your uncle has to go to work tomorrow morning, so you can stay home and play with your grandparents."
"Please call me that too, thank you."
What are you doing?
Xiaohua: "I also need to go to work."
Yan Xingli laughed: "What kind of job do you work?"
Xiaohua said in a serious tone, "I go to kindergarten."
Yan Xingli: "Hahahaha."
