Chapter 254 Nagging

The favor Yao Shula asked Lei Jingwu for was neither a huge nor a small matter.

"Although Shuxin is currently in her first year of high school and has two and a half years left before taking the college entrance exam, she studies very hard and diligently. I was thinking of asking you to look around in Shanghai to find some practice question sets and study materials that are not available in Yun County."

As you know, Yunxian is just a small county town, and not many people can get into university each year.

In terms of teaching conditions, it's really not as good as in big cities.

So I was thinking... could you help me find some information for Shuxin? Don't worry, we'll pay you!" Yao Shula said earnestly to Lei Jingwu.

Lei Jingwu immediately laughed upon hearing this.

"I thought it was something serious, but it's just this! Don't worry, I'll take care of it. I'll find it for you when I get back."

I'll bring Tiantian back to you after the New Year when I send her back.

"Your younger sister is a bright student; with a couple more years of hard work, she'll definitely get into a good university." Lei Jingwu patted his chest, indicating that it was a small matter.

Yao Shula breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say thank you when she saw Lei Jingwu waving at her.

I know what you're trying to say, but don't thank me!

If anyone should say thank you, it's the Lei family.

"If it weren't for you, every day... Alright, we're all family, don't be so formal!" Lei Jingwu finished speaking and continued wiping the dishes.

At first, he didn't understand why the bowl needed to be wiped clean, but then he felt the temperature here...

Yes, the dishes need to be dried thoroughly after washing. In this cold weather, if they're left in the kitchen without being dried, they'll definitely freeze and stick together when we need to use them next time...

Lei Jingwu was diligently wiping the dishes, but Yao Shula found it strange.

Tian Tian's cousin is really adaptable!

“Lei Jingwu, I have another question for you! If you think you can answer it, then answer it; if you think you can’t, then don’t.” Yao Shula took a step closer to Lei Jingwu.

Lei Jingwu quickly moved two steps over as well.

"Ask away! I'll tell you anything I can, and if I can't... I'll tell you indirectly!" Lei Jingwu quickly declared.

Yao Shula chuckled twice and finally asked the question.

"Um... you're taking Tian Mi back to Shanghai tomorrow morning, so you're not planning to send her back?"

Lei Jingwu nodded.

"Grandpa's idea is to bring this child back to Shanghai, and not let Third Uncle take care of him; he will make the arrangements."

As for who will take care of Grandpa after he is taken to Shanghai, they haven't told me yet.

However, Grandpa said that children should not be used as bargaining chips in adults' arguments.

He will definitely handle this matter properly.

"Tian Lei's plan will definitely fail!" Lei Jingwu laughed.

Yao Shula breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Old Master Lei intervened, that would be fine. She hoped he wouldn't suddenly soften his heart when he saw the children, otherwise Xiao Tiantian would definitely feel disappointed...

"Yes, you're right, your old man's arrangements are definitely correct."

Tell Tiantian to go back and spend some quality time with her grandfather. Tiantian has been thinking about him a lot while she's in Yun County…

The two chatted casually about other topics, occasionally bursting into laughter.

Seeing this scene while Gu Changqin was grieving in the main room was heartbreaking.

Lei Jingwu, you're really something! He's so upset and you didn't even come over to comfort him. You were just keeping Yao Shula company while she worked.

Why weren't you this diligent when we were in Shanghai?

They even helped wipe the dishes...

Hehe, once he gets back to Shanghai, he'll tell the Lei family that from now on, the eldest son of the Lei family will take care of all the bowls for the Lei family.

She's a skilled worker now, and she works very efficiently. Look how clean she's wiped the dishes!

...

The next morning, as soon as it was light, Yao Shula got up with her younger siblings.

Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin arrived in their car before seven o'clock.

Yao Shula asked Yao Shuli to queue up at the state-run restaurant and buy some fried dough sticks. At home, she also cooked piping hot soy milk porridge.

While drinking piping hot soy milk porridge and eating crispy fried dough sticks, everyone felt warm after finishing this breakfast.

After breakfast, Yao Shula took Xiaotian's luggage into the car.

"I prepared four sets of clothes for him to change into. Remember, take him to take a bath when you get back, and give him a bath before you come back."

The temperature in Shanghai is higher than in Yun County, so he must change his clothes promptly if he gets sweaty from playing.

I also packed a small bag of dried sandworms that you brought before, just in case they're not available in Shanghai. Remember to have your family cook them for you to drink every day when you get back.

There's also the teddy bear I hug every night while sleeping, and my notebooks are always in my bag.

Oh, and my report card and certificates are in my bag too!

In addition, Shuxin also gave Tiantian three math problems on a worksheet. Remember to have Tiantian do them too!

"Remember this: he often forgets to brush his teeth before bed, so you must make sure he brushes them!" Yao Shula reminded him again.

Lei Jingwu carefully wrote them all down.

Before the car even started moving, Xiao Tiantian's eyes were already brimming with tears. He was pressed against the car window, his eyes red.

"Big sister, come with me to Shanghai for the New Year!"

"Wait until later! When you go back, be good and spend more time with Grandpa. We're waiting for you to come back so we can take a family photo together!" Yao Shula quickly comforted Xiao Tiantian.

Xiao Tiantian then nodded.

Yao Shula then accepted the three insulated buckets handed to her by Yao Shuxin.

"One contains hot porridge, and the other two contain steamed buns that were just heated up in the morning. They can last for a while if they are kept in a thermos."

"Have something to eat at noon so you won't be too hungry when you get to Shanghai." Yao Shula put the three insulated containers on the car.

Xiao Tian kept all three insulated containers close to her body.

Yao Shula put another bag in the car.

"These are my cousin's spiced peanuts, and her newly made salt and pepper peanuts. The sunflower seeds also come in spiced, creamy, and original flavors."

My cousin made them all. You mentioned before that your father likes my cousin's spiced peanuts, so I figured you guys were coming and asked her to make them.

You can keep it for yourselves! No need to give it away, it's a bit embarrassing to present it to others.

There were also twenty salted duck eggs inside, sent by my third sister-in-law. She has relatives in Gaoyou and brought over some double-yolk eggs. She's already pickled them into salted duck eggs, and they're all oozing oil. They're my favorite to eat with porridge every day. You should all take them..."

Yao Shula had prepared a full luggage bag. When Xiao Tiantian saw it, her eyes reddened even more, and she actually wanted to get off the bus...

Yao Shula quickly closed the car door.

"Tian Tian, ​​when you get back, your older sister will take you to take pictures! Okay, let's hurry up and go! That way we can get there earlier tonight!" Yao Shula waved to Tian Tian.

The car started immediately, and Xiao Tiantian could only stick his head out of the car window and shout again.

"Big sister, don't go out at night if you don't have anything to do, and don't take other people's kids home. They're not as obedient as me..."

Yao Shula...

She doesn't have the energy to pick up the child again.
