"Sister, why aren't you eating?" Xiao Qi saw Lian Manman holding the egg and daydreaming, then said, "Sister, eat it. Dad and Mom, as well as Big Sister and our brother, all know I saved the egg for you."
Lian Manman smiled and poured a bowl of ginger sugar water for Xiao Qi.
"Drink some water, don't choke," Lian Manman advised Xiao Qi.
"Mmm." Xiao Qi took the bowl, leaned against Lian Manman, and while eating the egg, responded.
Lian Manman then peeled the egg in her hand and slowly began to eat.
"Xiao Qi, today is your birthday. Besides eggs, is there anything else you want to eat, or even something that isn't food?" Lian Manman asked Xiao Qi, "We still haven't spent all the money from selling the bitter gourd."
"I don't want anything else; I've already eaten three eggs," Xiao Qi said after swallowing the last bit of his egg and taking a big gulp of sugar water, "In the past, I could only eat one on my birthday."
