Chapter 343 Shuxin is back

Lei Jingwu had known Yao Shula for many years. Although he was not a talkative person, he knew a lot about Yao Shula.

Yao Shula was different from the other girls he knew. She kept her thoughts very hidden, or you could say she protected herself very well. Others would not easily know where her weaknesses lay.

He knew that Yao Shula's biggest worry was her younger siblings, so in order to make Yao Shula feel at ease staying in Shanghai, rather than just feeling like she was just going to Shanghai for a short stay of two years, Lei Jingwu knew that he hadn't done enough.

I thought about what I needed to do next...

Lei Jingwu had an idea.

Why would someone work at a crematorium? Aren't you afraid of scaring yourself? Yao Shula is really brave!

But Grandpa should like it. He once said that he slept in a pile of dead bodies, and Yao Shula was eager to go to work at the crematorium... Isn't this exactly the same?

Grandpa will definitely be able to talk to Yao Shula.

I should try to find something else to do for Yao Shula first; maybe she was just joking!

However, if Yao Shula really wants to work at the crematorium, it's not impossible. We could just have her work in an office there...

In less than five minutes, Lei Jingwu had already thought of at least ten things Yao Shula could do.

...

Yao Shula's life continued in an orderly fashion, doing the same things every day.

She cooked, ran the shop, watched over her two younger brothers studying hard, and then occasionally visited the Yao family's old house and her eldest uncle's place.

When the winter vacation arrived, Yao Shuli's efforts paid off.

Yao Shuli, who had previously struggled to even achieve a middle-class ranking, ranked in the top eight of her class for the first time.

Yao Shula was happy, Yao Shuli was happy, and Xiao Tiantian was even happier.

The better his brother Shuli studied, the greater his chances of going to Shanghai, so that his older sister could go with him and he wouldn't have to be separated from her.

With such a good mood, Xiao Tiantian returned to Shanghai early for the first time with Lei Jingwu.

He needed to go back early; he needed to check on his older sister's house and keep an eye on his older brother's work at the crematorium, so that his brother wouldn't forget about it.

We also need to put in a good word for our grandfathers and maternal grandfathers. Our eldest sister isn't in Shanghai, so we'll have to rely on ourselves for these things.

...

During the first winter vacation, Yao Shula, who had originally planned that Yao Shuxin would not come back for the New Year, was a little surprised to see Yao Shuxin returning with her luggage.

"Shuxin... what? Didn't you say you weren't coming back?" Yao Shula quickly took the bag from Yao Shuxin's hands.

After putting her bag on the ground, Yao Shuxin hugged Yao Shula tightly and wouldn't let go.

"Sister, I miss you! I miss Shuli, I miss Grandma, I miss Uncle, I miss everyone in the family."

Originally, I wasn't planning to come back, but if I don't come back, it will just be you and Shuli spending the New Year together at home. You must miss me, right?

I came back. Train tickets were hard to buy; I queued for several days before I finally got one.

"Sister, I miss you so much!" Yao Shuxin felt at ease as soon as she smelled Yao Shula's scent.

Yao Shula hugged Yao Shuxin and was also happy.

My younger sister came back to see me. She traveled such a long way all by herself just to spend the New Year with me!

"Did you come back by train?" Yao Shula asked softly, patting Yao Shuxin's back.

Yao Shuxin nodded.

"Yes, I first took the train to Jinling, and then took a bus back to Yunxian."

"Big sister, I didn't talk to anyone, eat anything, or drink anything along the way. I can walk the path you led me down by myself now," Yao Shuxin said earnestly.

Yao Shula patted Yao Shuxin's back hard with joy.

How wonderful! This year is another year of family reunion!

"Shuli! Shuli! Come out and see, your second sister is back!" Yao Shula shouted into the house.

Yao Shuli ran out without even having time to put on her shoes.

Seeing the siblings happily hugging, laughing, and jumping together, Yao Shula smiled for a long time as well.

Life is really good now.

...

The day after Yao Shuxin returned, she accompanied Yao Shula to go grocery shopping. Along the way, everyone greeted her warmly as they saw Yao Shuxin holding Yao Shula's hand.

"Hey, our top scholar is back for the New Year! You must have missed your older sister!"

"Shuxin's back! How's the Shanghai market?"

"Isn't this wonderful? University is great! Your older sister misses you so much, when does school start?"

Yao Shuxin greeted everyone in a generous and appropriate manner.

"Aunt Zhao, you're in good health! You look much better than before, you must be in high spirits because of a happy event!"

"Grandma Liu, you've grown so much black hair! And you look even healthier than before!"

"Hello Aunt Qian, my older sister told me that your daughter got married. It's such a pity I didn't get any wedding candy!"

Yao Shula discovered that Yao Shuxin, who had only stayed in Shanghai for five months, had changed so much.

Although Shuxin was polite before, she was a bit quiet and rarely talked much with people; at most, she would just smile at them.

I feel much more comfortable interacting with people now than before.

Yao Shula felt a surge of joy as she watched Yao Shuxin talk to the neighbors.

People who knew Yao Shuxin couldn't help but start praising her after seeing her.

"Shura is such a good older sister. She raised her younger brother and sister with such care and effort!"

"Yes! He even neglected himself, all for his younger siblings. Everyone in the neighborhood praises him!"

"I heard that the younger brother is doing well in his studies now, and he will definitely be successful in the future."

"Yes, the Yao family's ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke. Although these children have suffered before, they will have good days ahead!"

"Shuxin is good. Other people's children go away to school and rarely come back for the New Year. Shuxin still knows to come back and spend the New Year with her sister. She is a kind-hearted person."

"That's right, Shanghai is so far away, the travel expenses alone would be quite high!"

"Good kids always belong to other people!"

...

Although Yao Shuxin brought back a lot of books to read after she returned, she still got up early every day to help Yao Shula cook and do housework.

No matter how much Yao Shula tried to persuade her, it was no use.

"I love working with my sister. Sister, I study every day at school, and I just want to rest when I get back. You're not going to make me study again, are you?" Yao Shuxin asked Yao Shula with a smile.

"That doesn't mean you have to do everything! Shuli can do it too! Go and rest!" Yao Shula said, reaching for the basin in Yao Shula's hand.

"Sister, talking to you while I work is the best way to rest."

"You don't mean my sister doesn't want to talk to me anymore just because I've been away from home for five months, do you?" Yao Shuxin asked playfully.

Yao Shula...

The little girl can talk now! Not bad, looks like she's doing well in Shanghai.
