Xiao Xue Lian Jing Tan Mo was about to transform into human form when she was plucked by someone, reincarnating as the beloved youngest daughter of the Tan family. Until she discovered that she had...
Even if the two elders are rich, these expenses are not even worth a tickle to them.
But having money and spending money are not contradictory.
Even if they have money, there is no need for them to spend money on you.
Moreover, all these things are done with great care.
"This is the elders' kindness and love for you." Butler Zhu smiled kindly. "They've long expected that you'd be bothering them. But if you're so reserved with them, they'll get angry. Their child is so outstanding, they just want to show off."
Tan Mo's heart was filled with joy, he smiled like a flower and nodded heavily.
Walking along the corridor in the front yard and through the garden, I finally saw the main hall of the old house.
Then I saw the old man directing people to set up a pole a few steps away from the main hall entrance.
There are firecrackers tied to the pole.
"Great-grandfather, great-grandmother!" When Tan Mo saw them, he immediately rushed towards the old man.
Hearing her call him that, Wei Zhiqian felt depressed.
Did the little girl forget that their relationship is different now?
Normally, the little girl still calls him uncle and has no intention of changing her name.
Although Wei Zhiqian wanted her to change her words, otherwise if he went on a date with her, others would think she was out having fun with her elders.
She doesn't even consider him her boyfriend.
But the little girl had been calling him uncle for twelve years, so she was used to it.
Moreover, in the past twelve years, the two of them have been together almost every day.
Unlike other families where relatives only see each other occasionally.
They see each other almost every day.
As a result, Tan Mo had to call him "uncle" every time he spoke throughout the day, and he had to call him so many times a day. Think about the accumulation of twelve years.
It has long become a habit ingrained in our bones.
It was because of this that Wei Zhiqian reluctantly endured it and did not urge Tan Mo to change his address.
If you think Tan Mo can’t change, then he can’t change.
In fact, he was used to hearing her call him "uncle".
As long as the relationship between two people is close, there is no need to delve into the details of how they address each other.
So Wei Zhiqian didn't mention asking Tan Mo to change his words anymore.
But Tan Mo was so used to it that he didn't even change the way he addressed him.
Now, I can’t even change the way I address the two elders.
Calling him uncle now is just a code name.
The two of them are in love, but they are already equals.
It would be inappropriate for Tan Mo to call the two elders great-grandfather and great-grandmother again.
Wei Zhiqian looked at it with a feeling of distress, but immediately changed his mind.
Later, while they were eating, taking advantage of everyone's good mood, he told them what happened between him and Tan Mo.
When talking about Mo, there is no need to call them great-grandfather or great-grandmother.
Instead, I followed him and called them grandpa and grandma.
He thought that since he would change his mind soon, this little time would not be a big deal.
"Oh!" The old man quickly caught Tan Mo who jumped into his arms.
"Grandpa, what are you doing?" Tan Mo pointed at the whip hanging on the pole.
"You've received such a high honor, so of course we have to have some fun at home," the old man said. "Even though we're not allowed to set off firecrackers now, let's set off a few in our yard in a low-key way to celebrate."
Tan Mo thought that with such a large string of firecrackers, the sound it made could not be kept low.
"We've been waiting for you to come, then we'll release it." The old man rubbed his hands excitedly.
The old lady reminded, "Don't forget the lion dance team."
"Yes, yes, yes." The old man asked Butler Zhu to pass on the message that the lion dance team could begin.
The old lady thought again, "Oh, if we had known earlier, we should have waited at the door, so that you wouldn't have to go out again after coming here."
"How could we ask you two elders to wait for us at the door?" Tan Wenci said with a smile, "We should come in and pay our respects first."
"We're all family, so we don't need to be so particular." The old man waved his hand and said, "Let's go and watch the lion dance first. It will soon dance all the way in from the door. When it's over, we'll set off these firecrackers."
"You even ordered a lion dance!" Tan Mo was shocked.
She had only encountered lion dances in the neighborhood where Tan lived, when there were families getting married.
"When you scored such an outstanding result in the college entrance examination, your great-grandfather wanted to hire a lion dance." As everyone walked out, the old lady explained with a smile, "It was just that it was so sudden. How could we have arranged it in such a short time?"
They knew that Tan Mo had good grades, but no one expected that Tan Mo could get such good grades.
So good that there is no possibility of improvement.
I've already scored full marks, how can I improve?
"So, with the lessons learned from that experience, your great-grandfather contacted the lion dance team ahead of time when he knew you were entering the math competition," the old lady explained with a smile. "You were selected as the first place winner, so we never thought you wouldn't do well in the finals. So, no matter what, we'll be able to put it to good use."
If you want to hire a lion dance troupe and set a date, you have to pay money.
Otherwise, if we make a verbal agreement and they make time to refuse other customers’ orders, but you don’t want them, wouldn’t they lose money in vain?
So, the old man paid the deposit in advance.
Even if we take a step back, Tan Mo’s competition results are not ideal.
Just consider it as a deposit gone down the drain.
Don’t tell Tan Mo about this either.
But Tan Mo really did a good job.
The results are more than just good.
"We were not prepared before, but now that we have experience this time, we cannot celebrate it hastily," said the old lady.
Everyone in the Tan family finally understood why the old lady insisted on having them come over to celebrate together.
The two elders had already made preparations.
Not to mention the relatives of the Tan family, he cares more about them than the Tan family themselves.
Instead, it made Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen feel guilty.
As Tan Mo's parents, they had not prepared as much as the two elders.
Xu Mingzhen dragged Tan Wenci along, falling behind a bit. She whispered to her what the old lady had told her on the phone, "We were negligent. Momo has always had good grades, so we took it for granted that she'd do well on any test. We paid too much attention to her, and we didn't even realize how much pressure she was putting on her. Furthermore, since we were so confident that Momo could get good grades, even first place, we didn't think of planning a celebration ahead of time. When the results came out, we were so flustered that we didn't know how to celebrate."
"On the other hand, the elders had people going door to door handing out red envelopes, delivering gifts and charity meals on the roadside, and even invited a lion dance team." Xu Mingzhen blamed herself and felt guilty. "We've neglected so much. Outsiders always say that we dote on Momo the most. But we haven't even done this little thing."
Tan Wenci held Xu Mingzhen's hand and said, "Over the years, the Wei family has been so good to Momo that I've become accustomed to laziness. I always feel that Momo is being doted on in countless ways, but I forget that for all that love, we give very little."
