Xu Yi returned home with a carefully selected gift for his younger brother.

The room was decorated in a garish way, and there was a large artistic photo of Xu Hao on the edge of the dining table. In the photo, he was wearing a western cowboy hat with a large brim and a suit, making it difficult to determine whether the photographer was an insider.

Xu Jingwei, that is, Xu Yi's father, doesn't like publicity, so Xu's family, that is, Xu Jingwei, Xu Hao and the stepmother's birthday, don't make much of a fuss, and only have dinner together.

As soon as Xu Yi opened the door, he heard the sound of hot wheels stepping on the ground. Xu Hao rushed down from the second floor and plunged into Xu Yi's arms: "Brother! You are back!"

Xu Yi is not used to being in close contact with people, and neither is his younger brother. He stepped back a little: "Hurry up."

The stepmother also came down at a slow pace. To celebrate her son's birthday, she put on light makeup and wore a light pink cheongsam, looking very elegant.

Xu Yi pretended not to see her, and handed the gift bag in his hand to Xu Hao: "Happy birthday, your gift."

"Thank you bro!" Xu Hao was elated, "Can I take it apart?"

"Yes." Xu Yi nodded.

Xu Hao receives a lot of gifts every year, but most of them are gifts that adults like and children don't like, so even though Xu Hao doesn't like Xu Yi, what he looks forward to most is the gifts from him.

Because every time Xu Yi gives something he likes, such as the Star Wars-themed Lego and the Iron Man model limited to 1000, he loves it badly.

Xu Hao happily dragged the gift bag to the table, dragged out the square gift box, and couldn't wait to tear off the ribbon on it.

The packaging is not big, it should not be Lego, but a game cassette?Or did he send a message to Moments a few days ago to hint at the limited number of sneakers his brother bought?still--

"200 Gold Medal Questions in the Junior High School Mathematical Olympiad"? ?

Xu Hao's face collapsed in an instant, and he took the book away in disbelief. Under the 200 questions, there was another "Selection of Mathematical Innovation Questions for Middle School Students" with high-level color matching and elegant layout.

The following are "Selected Sample Questions of Huashu 20 Years", "Intensive Lectures on Error-prone Questions for Xiaoshengchu", "Discussing the Beauty of Mathematics-Starting from Plane Geometry"... There is even a set of exercises in English.

The heavy blows of life came one after another, Xu Hao was a little skeptical about life.

"You are going to junior high school soon. A friend of mine said that this age is the most creative and the easiest to develop thinking skills, so I gave you these books, hoping to help you." Xu Yi said, holding Thinking of the all-English exercise book, "I found this from a foreign language library. It is very expensive and rare. It is said that there are only a few hundred copies of this book in the world."

Xu Hao was about to cry, even if there was only one copy in the world, he only wanted to use it as a table leg.

He even wondered if his brother was messing with him, but it didn't look like he was serious.

But at this time, his mother walked over with a smile on her face, and his father also came out of the study. Under the eyes of the two adults, Xu Hao could only forcefully make a happy expression: "Thank you, brother!"

"You're welcome." Xu Yi smiled slightly.

"Xu Yi prepared a good gift this time." Xu Jingwei rarely praised Xu Yi, but his tone was still not good, "It's much better than those playful things you gave before."

Xu Yi was able to turn a blind eye to the thorn in his father's words, and nodded: "Thank you, Dad."

At the beginning of dinner, four people sat around the table, and the aunt at home served steaming dishes one by one. Xu Yi always felt that Xu Hao didn't look very happy, and he didn't know why.

After eating something, both Xu Jingwei and his stepmother gave Xu Hao presents, and then gave him a message.

This part of the content has nothing to do with Xu Yi, he concentrated on eating, and his thoughts have been wandering.

He first thought about whether Qi Luo was studying by himself now, and he must be brushing that black and white paper again, and then he thought, I hope he doesn't wait until he goes back, and draws a lot of questions to be done.

"Cut the cake!"

The birthday song sounded, and the aunt came in pushing the cake. The cake was made into a sports car shape that a little boy would like very much. Looking at the shape, you can tell that the price is definitely not cheap.

The stepmother personally put on the birthday crown for Xu Hao, then blow out the candles, make a wish, and cut the cake.

Everything looked happy until Xu Hao took a plate and brought a piece of cake to Xu Yi——

"Brother, you eat." Xu Hao's eyes sparkled, and he had a cute and innocent smile, "When is your birthday, you will have a dinner at home. I also want to eat brother's birthday cake."

Of course Xu Yi wouldn't celebrate his birthday at home. Did he think his father was too light at picking his nose and eyes, or did he think his stepmother wasn't stirring up the flames enough?

He smiled, and was thinking of saying something to fulfill Xu Hao's wish, when Xu Jingwei snorted coldly: "How could he go home for his birthday? He knows how to hang out with his group of cronies every day!"

Xu Jingwei's criticism came suddenly, but it was not unexpected.

Because Xu Yi knew a long time ago that as long as the topic was brought up to him in this family, his father would scold him first.

Xu Yi glanced at his father, probably because his expressionless expression was too different from that of his well-behaved and filial son, Xu Jingwei was obviously more angry, and he slapped the table and pointed at Xu Yi: "What does that expression mean?"

Xu Yi was too lazy to speak and turned his eyes away.

"Husband, don't be angry. At Xiao Yi's age, a little rebellion is inevitable." The stepmother saw that the atmosphere was not right, so she immediately got up and poured wine for Xu Jingwei, and poured another glass of Coke for Xu Yi, and said kindly, "Today is Haohao's birthday. , Have a good day, don't be unhappy."

"Dad, don't be angry." Xu Hao also ran over to respect his father with his cup of Coke, and clinked glasses with Xu Yi again, "Brother, don't be unhappy, it's my fault, I said something that shouldn't be said."

"Is there anything you shouldn't say, it's not wrong for you to want your brother to celebrate his birthday at home!" After Xu Yi's father said this, he gave Xu Yi another gloomy look.

Xu Yi's evaluation of his father has long been in his ears, and he raised this glass of Coke in Xu Hao's face.

Maybe it was born to memorize words?Every time I came back to celebrate Xu Hao's birthday, I would quarrel with my father first.

Just when Xu Yi was about to let this matter go indifferently, Xu Yi's father said again: "Haohao, don't learn from your brother in the future, you don't do serious things all day long, you can't study, you don't keep discipline, just think about it." Trying to make a splash in a bad place like Post Bar."

Take a look, step on a handful as always...

Post it?Grandstanding?

Xu Yi suddenly raised his head, "What did you say?"

"What do you call me? Have you even forgotten to use honorific titles for elders?" Xu Jingwei stared.

"Dad." Xu Yi gritted his teeth and gave in temporarily, "What did you say?"

"I said you were in the post bar in your school, hanging out with a little hooligan, cuddling and catching people's attention." Xu Jingwei said word by word, "Shame on you!"

It should be about that hot post, the town building map is Xu Yi and Qi Luo borrowing their hugs.

There are many details wrong in what Xu Jingwei said, for example, Qi Luo is not a hooligan, he is a student at the same table, and he is his good friend...

But Xu Yi didn't bother to correct it.

The moment his father called Qi Luo a "little rascal", Xu Yi felt like a little beast that had been stepped into its territory, completely blown up.

"Don't say that about my classmate." Xu Yi said.

Xu Jingwei has long been used to the elder son being scolded silently, now that he suddenly replied, Xu Jingwei was taken aback.

But immediately he sneered and said, "Didn't you two expect to be criticized when you did such a disgusting thing? Why, to make a sensation in front of others, you will feel ashamed when you come to me?"

Dad's voice was very loud, and Xu Yi felt his temples throbbing.

There was a strong feeling of being offended, which made him suddenly no longer want to bear it.

But it wasn't because of himself, he didn't care about being scolded or something.

But Qi Luo is different.

When Qi Luo is mentioned here, it seems to be dirty.

"Today is your brother's birthday, I don't want to..." Xu Jingwei's new criticism had just begun, and Xu Yi had already put the bowl on the table.

The edge of the bowl hit the table, making a loud "boom".

Xu Jingwei's words were thrown back by this sound.

He looked at Xu Yi in shock, and at the bowl in Xu Yi's hand, his face flushed purple from the anger of being challenged by authority: "What are you doing? You want to rebel, don't you!"

"Slippery hands." Xu Yi explained calmly, then stood up and set the table and chopsticks.

Xu Jingwei was about to criticize him again for not understanding etiquette, but Xu Yi interrupted him before he even uttered the first word.

"I'm done eating." Xu Yi pulled out the chair, "Now I'm leaving."

"Go?" Xu Jingwei repeated the word before realizing Xu Yi's meaning. He asked in surprise and anger, "Today is your brother's birthday! Where do you want to go if you don't stay at home?"

"Go find my little rascal." Xu Yi said, reaching out to pick up the schoolbag on the sofa beside him, and waved at Xu Jingwei's family who hadn't reacted at all, "Goodbye."
