"Comrade, let me make a phone call."

Lin Cuixin went to the post office and called the village brigade.

"Hello! Uncle Han, it's me, Qianjin! Oh, it's nothing serious. Changlin and his wife bought a TV for the holiday today. I wanted to tell the kid's father and make him happy too!"

"Oh! It's the kids who are wasting money. I told them not to buy it, but they insisted on buying it for me to see. Young people just don't know how to live!"

"Oh, okay, you don't have to reply. Just tell him for me, please!"

"Hey, hey, okay, okay, please excuse me, old man!"

"Okay, okay, I'll hang up first!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Cuixin rushed home in a hurry, fearing that she would miss the exciting plot.

On the other side, Han Tiansheng hung up the phone and headed home.

"Uncle Han, what are you doing?"

There were many people sitting under the big trees in the village to enjoy the cool air. When they saw Han Tiansheng coming, they greeted him with a smile.

Han Tiansheng replied with a smile, "Qinjin's mother called and said that Changlin bought a TV and asked me to tell his father!"

"Wow! That's incredible! They even bought a TV? Wow, what a happy life they have!"

"Of course not. We can't envy them. I heard that Changlin's wife opened a restaurant in the city and can earn a lot of money every day! Otherwise, how could she afford a TV?"

"Don't even mention the second family. The first family's tofu business is also booming right now. I heard they can make a lot of money!"

"Oh, it's really frustrating to compare yourself with others! When can I buy a TV?"

"You? Maybe in the next life!"

“Hahahahahaha!”

Everyone was talking about their envy, and Han Tiansheng listened for a while and then continued walking towards home.

“Hit!”

"Uncle Han! How come you have time to come over?"

Xiangzhong saw him coming and hurriedly got a stool for him to sit on.

Han Tiansheng sat down and said with a smile, "Qinjin's mother just called and said that Changlin's family bought a TV and asked me to tell you."

Xiang Zhong was delighted when he heard this, "Really? That's great!"

No one in their village has a TV yet, so their family is the first to have one, even though they are not in the village.

Han Tiansheng took a look at their yard. Because they wanted to make tofu, Xiang Qianjin and his wife had built a shed in the yard.

"Are the Qianjin couple not at home?"

Xiang Zhong nodded and said, "He went to the county town to deliver goods. He just left a while ago."

"It's a good day for your family!"

Xiang Zhong smiled modestly, "It's a small business, I can't make much money. I have many children at home, and they all need money for schooling and marriage. I have to plan for the future."

Han Tiansheng nodded in agreement, "That's right. These kids will all be able to go to college in the future, so we have to support them well."

“Yes, yes, yes!”

——

Two years later,

"Hurry up, your dad will be here soon!"

This year, sisters Ye Lan and Ye Ping successfully passed the college entrance examination. Their parents held a graduation banquet for them, and Ye Qing took the children back to attend the banquet.

"Mom, I prepared greeting cards for my third aunt and my second aunt. Do you think they will like them?"

Yueyue walked in with two colorful greeting cards that she had carefully prepared, and looked at Ye Qing with anticipation.

Ye Qing smiled and touched her head, "Of course they like it. Your third and second aunts will feel it."

"Um!"

Yueyue nodded happily and carefully put the two cards into her bag.

"Mom, Tangtang stole my marbles!!"

Shengsheng came in with puffed cheeks to complain to his mother.

"Tangtang, why are you trying to steal your brother's marbles? Don't you have your own?"

Ye Qing walked out of the bedroom and came to the main room to look at his naughty little son.

"His is great, mine is not!"

Tangtang guarded the marbles he had snatched with great difficulty tightly, fearing that his mother would snatch them back.

Ye Qing resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said sternly, "You're so powerful that you want to snatch it? That's my brother's stuff! If my brother likes your stuff, can he just snatch it? Would you be happy?"

This naughty kid deserves to be punished. He is the most mischievous one in the family!

"I…"

"What do you mean by 'I'? Hurry up and give it back to your brother. Have you packed your things? Your dad will be here to pick us up soon. If anyone can't pack well, then don't wait for him. Stay at home and look after the house!"

"Tangtang, return it to your second brother!"

Yanyan acts like an older brother at a young age. Except for not liking to study, he is good at everything.

"Humph! I'll give it back to you!"

Tangtang pouted, looking reluctant.

I’m so reluctant to let go!

"Slightly~"

Shengsheng grabbed it and put it in his pocket, then made a face at him.

“Dad is here!”

Xixi has the most sharp ears and can hear the sound of cars below even in the house.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing sent the children downstairs with their things, then locked the door.

After all the people and things were in the car, he went to the store to pick up Lin Cuixin.

Today, Xiang Changlin was going to his hometown county to deliver goods, so he took him to the county on the way.

"You guys go back by car first, I'll come find you when I'm done."

"good!"

Ye Qing and Lin Cuiyun took their five children on a bus back to the village, and Xiang Qianjin borrowed a ox cart to pick them up.

We staggered all the way home, and our buttocks were almost broken.

It has been another half a year since we last saw each other. The two older ones are fine, but the three younger ones have had more children with their family. Xiang Zhong took out the wooden guns, slingshots, dolls and other things he made for his grandchildren to coax them, and they became familiar with each other again. The children surrounded him and kept calling him grandpa, grandpa, which made him very happy.

Today is the graduation banquet for sisters Ye Lan and Ye Ping. After taking a rest at her husband’s house, Ye Qing took the children back to her parents’ home.

Jianjun was so happy when he saw his nephews coming back that he took out all the delicious food he had saved up these days and shared it with them.

"My uncle is so nice!"

"Uncle is the best!"

The little guys all praised Jianjun highly.

"Big sister, I was admitted to the city's university! I can see you more often from now on!"

Ye Ping happily shook Ye Qing's arm, feeling extremely happy.

She originally thought she had no hope, but unexpectedly she was able to get into a technical college. She was very satisfied, and she was also living in the same city as her elder sister, which made her feel at ease.

"Oh, I really envy you. I also want to be with my elder sister."

Ye Lan was admitted to an undergraduate university in the provincial capital, the same school that Wang Jiaxing attended. She felt reluctant to separate from her sister. They grew up together and went to school together, and had never been separated.

"Why are you envious of me? You are a college graduate!"

Ye Ping pursed her lips at her, her tone somewhat sour, oh, why don't I have the brains of my third sister? But she is already very satisfied with the result now!
