I have a lot of green plums

There was no warning of its disappearance, and I only realized that I hadn't heard its call for a long time when I inadvertently thought of it.

They lie dormant for several years or even more than ten years just to come out in the summer and disturb people. April Yuzhi doesn't like these little creatures very much.

But even so, it still represents a season.

There is a saying that goes, that year I caught a cicada, I thought I had caught the whole summer.

Well, I have material for my short essay again.

Thinking this way, Si Yueyuzhi immediately wrote down his inspiration on his draft paper, but just after he finished writing a sentence, he suddenly felt a knock on his head.

"Why are you in a daze? Have you finished the test paper?"

I looked up at the teacher who was hitting me. Wasn't it Mr. Igarashi?

"It's finished." Si Yue Yuzhi nodded.

"Let me see." Igarashi Suzune picked up the test paper on the table without waiting for April Yuzhi's consent.

Although she is a music teacher, elementary school questions are still easy for her.

"Well, not bad." Looking at the neat paper and the clear thinking and some of the answering processes, Igarashi Suzune nodded with satisfaction.

"Just take the exam well, and don't do anything else, understand?"

After returning the paper to April Yuzhi, Igarashi Suzune did not forget to give her a reminder.

"..."

After a day of exams, the five girls had lost their original energy and were all listless.

Fortunately, this situation doesn't happen once or twice. Basically, they are like this after every exam. If you don't pay attention to it, they will be fine on their own after a while.

However, if you want them to recover faster, Si Yue Yu Zhi also has a way.

"Okay, okay, stop looking so sad. I'll treat you to lollipops today."

"Really?" Sure enough, upon hearing that there was food, Siye immediately perked up and looked at Siyue Yuzhi with shining eyes.

Although the other four girls were not as upset as her, there was more or less some anticipation in their eyes.

"Just consider it as a reward for you." Si Yue Yuzhi nodded, and then said, "But if you invite me this time, I won't be able to see you on Friday."

He used to treat the girls to lollipops every Friday, and the tradition continued even after the summer vacation.

"Hey...Yuzhi the stingy guy!"

Siye pouted, grabbed Siyue Yuzhi's hand and shook it, as if expressing her dissatisfaction.

"Okay, I lied to you."

Seeing Yotsuba's cute and innocent look, Siyue Yuzhi had an urge to reach out and pinch her mouth, but finally he held back.

I took the girls to the school canteen, and today April was generous for once.

In the past, he would always pick the cheapest lollipops, about 100 yen for five flat ones. But now, he waved his hand and arrogantly placed five coins on the counter.

"Boss, give me five Alps."

When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked!

"Haha, why is Xiao Yuzhi so generous today?"

The boss is a middle-aged woman in her thirties who still has charm. Siye Yuzhi comes to her to buy bread almost every day at noon. She is cute and speaks well. Most importantly, she is often followed by five identical cute girls. It is hard for her not to be impressed.

"Yuzhi, unexpectedly..."

"It's obviously mine..."

"Yuzhi, are you sick?"

"Would you like to go to the hospital?"

"I give it to you in small amounts."

Forget about the boss lady, he can just pretend he didn’t hear it, but what do these guys behind him mean?

Is he so stingy in their eyes? Although he does save money on a daily basis, he won't be stingy when it comes to spending money.

For example... For example...

Uh......

Eh?

In short, he will not spend a penny less than he should.

"Forget it, let's just stick with the old way."

Si Yue Yuzhi frowned and pretended to take back the three coins, but fortunately the proprietress was one step ahead of him and put the money into the drawer first.

"We were wrong."

The girls behind him also apologized immediately.

250 yen was not a lot of money for Si Yue Yuzhi, but it certainly didn't mean that he became arrogant and forgot his poor life after making the money.

But if he could buy the most innocent smile in the world with 250 yen, he would be willing to spend the money.

Looking at the satisfied looks on the faces of the five girls, April Yuzhi's mood was like the sunshine in his heart, as if midsummer had not yet left him.

The farewell was short-lived. After packing up, Si Yueyu went out again to the girls' homes.

Today was the day he came to help, but as soon as he entered the kitchen, he was chased out by Nino.

The strong-willed Nino seemed to want to finish the cooking by herself today. April Yuzhi didn't object to this. It would be a good thing for him if he could relax a little.

It looked like his duty today was to watch TV with the other four girls.

The show on TV was Pretty Cure. April Yuzhi wasn't very interested in it, but the four girls were watching it with great interest.

"By the way, where's Aunt Reina?"

After the first level was finished, Si Yue Yu Zhi asked.

Normally, Auntie Lingna would always be with them in the living room, but today he had been here for such a long time but hadn't seen her.

"Are you out?"

"Mom seems to be still resting."

"We just called her."

"She said she was a little tired from cleaning the room this afternoon."

"We just left some for her at dinner."

The four girls chatted with each other, and after hearing what they said, Si Yue Yuzhi nodded slightly.

A bit tired of cleaning the room?

If that's all, there's nothing to worry about. Auntie Rena's health isn't very good to begin with, so it's normal for her to feel tired from cleaning the room.

Cleaning is a very tiring task, and even ordinary people would feel tired.

"I'm going to go see Auntie Reina."

Although she was always thinking positively, Si Yue Yuzhi couldn't help but feel the worries that kept popping up in her heart.

Even if the probability is one in ten thousand, as long as this probability exists, it is possible to happen.

Auntie Lingna, is your health getting worse?

"Well, let me go."

Since she often visits the five sisters' home, Si Yue Yu Zhi is relatively familiar with the layout of this place.

Arriving in front of a house, Siyue Yuzhi reached out and gently knocked on the door.

"Is it Ichika?"

Soon, a woman's clear, pleasant voice was heard in the room, and it sounded no different from usual.

"Auntie Lingna, I'm Yuzhi." April Yuzhi replied.

The room fell silent. Siyue Yuzhi did not get an immediate answer as to whether he could go in, but he still waited outside.

Finally, after a brief silence, he got the consent of the owner of the room.

"Come in, Yuzhi."

"excuse me."

Si Yue Yuzhi carefully pushed open the door, then turned around and closed it, leaving a small gap.

"Xiao Yuzhi, can you please close the door tightly?"

Hearing Aunt Lingna's request, Siyue Yuzhi was stunned for a moment, but finally obeyed and closed the last gap.

After closing the door, he came to the woman's bed.

The sun outside was still quite strong, so the lighting in the room was bright enough. Si Yueyu looked at the face of the woman on the hospital bed, and it seemed that there was really nothing wrong with her.

If there is any difference from usual, it is that the eyes look more tired.

"Auntie Reina."

April Yuzhi opened his mouth and shouted.

"Xiao Yuzhi, what's the matter?"

Mudou Rena asked gently with a smile on her face.

April Yuzhi shook his head and said, "I heard that Auntie Lingna was a little tired, so I came to see her."

"I see. I'm fine." Wutang Lingna chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Yuzhi."

"really?"

"Yeah." Wutang Lingna nodded, "Auntie, I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after a rest."

Mudou Rena behaved very normally, and both her tone and expression were no different from usual.

In that case, there is nothing for April Yuzhi to worry about.

"It must be lonely for you to be alone, so I'll chat with you here."

However, Si Yueyuzhi had no intention of leaving, as it was still some time before dinner.

"......" Wutang Lingna was stunned when he heard this, and then refused: "No, Xiao Yuzhi, you should go eat quickly."

"But Nino isn't done yet. Auntie, are you hungry? Do you want me to ask Ichika and the others to bring in some food first?"

"No, no need..."

Wutang Lingna subconsciously wanted to refuse, but soon realized that she was a little too eager, so she quickly changed her tone.

"Xiao Yuzhi..."

"what happened?"

"Auntie prefers a quiet environment."

"But didn't Auntie Reina say before that she preferred to stay with us?"

She was basically always with them when they were eating together, joking with each other, and discussing studies.

"I thought Auntie Reina was someone who was afraid of being alone."

These words made Wutang Lingna's hands unconsciously clasp together under the quilt.

Why can a little ghost see so clearly?

"Xiao Yuzhi, you are really smart."

After a moment of silence, Wutang Lingna looked at the boy beside the bed, sighed softly, and then smiled: "But you guessed wrong this time."

"Auntie is an adult, she won't be afraid of loneliness."

If I hadn't been an adult, I would have almost believed it.

Si Yueyuzhi also sighed in his heart, the opponent's bravado was so unbreakable that he had no chance to take advantage of it.

But she could also understand it. As the mother of five girls and the only support of the family, if she collapsed at this moment, what would happen to the rest of the five girls' lives was a question she didn't want to think about.

For the sake of this family and those five girls, she must be strong.

"Auntie Lingna." Siyue Yuzhi looked at Wutang Lingna seriously and said, "Although your words can't even fool a three-year-old child, I will believe you this time."
