Chapter 188 Having an Unforgettable Birthday
"I just want my eldest sister to be happy on her birthday and not think about anything unpleasant," Yao Shuxin said earnestly.
“Yes, that’s right, it’s to make my older sister feel that her birthday is great, and that she wants to celebrate her birthday every day from now on,” Yao Shuli added.
"And another thing is that after my eldest sister's birthday, she started to look forward to the future, feeling that many people like her."
And then, I wanted to live a better life even more. "Little Tiantian quickly added.
It would be a lie to say Yao Shula wasn't moved; she was already very happy that the three children thought this way.
What does this show? It shows that she didn't raise three ungrateful children, but rather three children who wholeheartedly care for their eldest sister...
Yao Shula thought for a moment and concluded that the person who would make such a big fuss about celebrating her birthday must be Xiao Tiantian, since he had just returned to Shanghai to celebrate his grandfather's birthday.
"Tian Tian, was it you who suggested it? Big Sister's birthday is celebrated every year, it's not a special occasion."
That morning, we'll just have a bowl of noodles and a poached egg. At noon, my older sister will cook a couple more dishes so we can have a more substantial meal..." Yao Shula really didn't want to go through all the trouble of celebrating her birthday, but Xiao Tiantian still tugged at Yao Shula's sleeve and started to whine.
"Big sister, there's only one birthday. Your twentieth birthday is a big birthday. There's no second big birthday."
My older brother once said that he celebrated his twentieth birthday at home, but when he turns thirty... who knows whose house he'll be celebrating at!
Also, big sister, haven't you always told us to live each day to the fullest and make each day different?
"It's the same on birthdays!" Xiao Tiantian shook Yao Shula's arm.
“Yes, sister, there’s only one birthday for everyone, and we want to give you an unforgettable birthday,” Yao Shuxin added.
“That’s right! Big sister, we just want you to be happy. Can you please let us celebrate your birthday just this once?” Yao Shuli looked at Yao Shula expectantly.
How could Yao Shula not soften her heart when these three children were staring at her like that!
“Okay! I’ll do whatever you say when you celebrate my birthday that day!” Yao Shula smiled.
The three little ones immediately chuckled.
"But... Tiantian, how did you know it was my sister's birthday?" Yao Shula asked curiously.
"I asked Grandma! That day when I went to Grandma's house to ask her to make shoes, you went out and talked to Third Sister-in-law, and I asked Grandma."
Grandma blurted it out right away, adding that my eldest sister was born at 10:30 p.m.! "Little Tiantian said proudly.
Yao Shula smiled and reached out to pinch Xiao Tiantian's cheek.
"You're so clever! Alright, how do you need me to cooperate with you that day?" Yao Shula continued to ask.
"That day, eldest sister doesn't need to do anything! We'll do it all! Whether it's eating or anything else, eldest sister doesn't need to do anything."
"As long as my eldest sister is happy on her birthday, that's all that matters," Yao Shuxin said immediately.
"Yes, big sister, you don't need to do anything!"
"Yes, we're here!" Little Tiantian shouted, raising his hand.
...
Yao Shula agreed to celebrate her birthday, but she didn't ask why the three younger ones were whispering among themselves.
No matter how naughty the two younger ones are, they still have their older sister Shuxin to keep them in check. Shuxin is a very steady girl!
Taking a day off that day... isn't out of the question. School starts soon, let's take them out for a meal!
Just go to my third sister-in-law's restaurant, eat your meal, wipe your mouth, and leave. It's so convenient and hassle-free!
Around noon, Grandma Yao came over in person.
She brought a basket of eggs.
"Tomorrow is your birthday, so I bought thirty eggs for you and brought them over. Remember to eat them tomorrow morning!"
Also, bring the three little ones to our place for lunch tomorrow. Your aunt and I have already agreed that we'll make braised fish for you.
"There are spare ribs too. Don't cook lunch at home. It's your birthday, so you must celebrate it properly," Grandma Yao said with a smile.
"Grandma, no need! You've already brought eggs, that's enough..."
"We can just have a simple lunch at home, there's no need to celebrate my birthday specially." Yao Shula quickly declined.
Grandma Yao waved her hand in disapproval.
"Even though you two are living separately now, you're still my granddaughter, aren't you?"
Your dad is treating him like he's dead, but Grandma is still alive, right?
We celebrate your birthday so that others can see that you are still Old Yao's granddaughter and one of our family.
Anyone who dares to bully you in the future will have to think twice.
I told your aunt, and she brought Yamin over too.
Your uncle can't come; it's the busiest time for their grain bureau lately, I heard they're out in the countryside every day.
It's settled then! If you guys want to have a quiet meal by yourselves, then it'll be tonight!
Okay, I'm going back now! Remember, you have to eat eggs tomorrow morning, don't be stingy.
Things are different now than before; each person eats two eggs.
Come over to our place at 11 o'clock, and we'll give you a proper birthday celebration tomorrow.
After Grandma Yao finished speaking, she took the empty basket and went back.
Yao Shula was stunned for a long time...
Okay, lunch is sorted out for tomorrow, I only need to worry about dinner.
...
The next morning, Yao Shula woke up groggily and found that Yao Shuxin, who shared a bed with her, was no longer in bed. She quickly got up and ran to the kitchen.
Sure enough, Yao Shuxin was already making noodles.
"Shuxin, why are you up so early making noodles? You can leave, I'll do it!" Yao Shula said, putting on her arm sleeves.
Yao Shuxin quickly stopped Yao Shula.
"Big sister, you forgot!"
We agreed that the grade wouldn't have to do anything today; we would do everything.
"I used to cook all the time, I can make noodles and stuff, you should go back and get some more sleep." Yao Shuxin said as she pulled Yao Shu out of the kitchen.
Seeing the sweat on Yao Shuxin's forehead, Yao Shula still wanted to help.
"Soothing! You should be studying right now; you're preparing for college entrance exams."
Yao Shuxin stubbornly shook her head.
"Missing a day of study won't have a big impact. At worst, I'll just study for an extra hour every night from now on."
"Big sister, if I had to choose between taking the college entrance exam and you, I would definitely choose you," Yao Shuxin said earnestly.
Yao Shula had nothing to say and could only return to the main room...
Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian also got up.
One of them was busy soaking the clothes she had changed out of the night before in a basin, while the other was fetching water for Yao Shula to wash her face.
Judging from their demeanor, they really weren't planning to let Yao Shula do anything.
If possible, Xiao Tiantian even considered helping her older sister brush her teeth...
...
Soon, I finished washing up and breakfast was ready!
