Chapter 190 There's a second round.
When Xiaotian said there was a gift, everyone laughed.
It's so kind of a child to have a gift prepared. Whatever it is, the thought behind it is what matters.
Yao Shula smiled and patted Xiao Tiantian's head, then put some food in his bowl.
Well, no matter what gift I prepare every day, even if it's just a piece of paper, I'll praise Xiaotian to the skies and make sure she stays in this state forever.
"Really, big sister, we've all prepared gifts for you! My brothers and sisters and I all have them."
"Mmm, Grandma's fish is delicious, and the ribs are delicious too. Her cooking is really good." Little Tiantian praised Grandma Yao's cooking while gnawing on the ribs.
Grandma Yao smiled from ear to ear and immediately put another piece of fish on Xiao Tiantian's chopsticks, carefully removing the bones.
"Eat more if you like. The fish was made by Grandma, but the ribs were made by your aunt."
Little Tiantian immediately put on a big smile and praised Aunt Yao.
"That aunt's cooking skills are just as good as Grandma's!"
These words not only made Lao Yao's family burst into laughter, but even Yao Shula herself admitted that she was inferior to them.
Look at this technique for praising people; it's never about praising one person while putting down another, but about praising both of them.
When praising his aunt, he also praised his grandmother.
As expected of a child from a wealthy family, he's got a mind of cunning...
...
The meal was a lively affair, with everyone chatting as they ate.
They talked about how well the factory was doing, how this month's bonus was five yuan more than last month, and how there were more and more stalls selling things outside.
It's not just rural people who come up to sell vegetables and eggs; many city dwellers are also thinking about selling something.
For example, they might wholesale food products from a factory and then sell them at rural markets.
"You can earn quite a bit. It's a bit hard work, but you can definitely earn 30 to 50 yuan a month."
Yao Shula echoed everyone's words.
That's right. As long as those small vendors are quick-witted and hardworking, they can definitely earn a lot, at least as much as those who work for a fixed salary.
Don't the Yao family have two members who don't work but go out to do business and still earn quite a bit?
Zhong Xiaochun and Yao Chunian have made a lot of money, and even their tone of voice is different from before!
...
After dinner, Grandma Yao pulled Yao Shu into her room.
The other women, along with Miao Yamin and Yao Chunian, also went inside.
Once inside, Yao Shula realized that it was her birthday, and the Yao family had not only prepared a decent feast but also a gift for her.
This left Yao Shula a little bewildered!
The four sisters-in-law and Yao Chunian chipped in to buy Yao Shula a set of clothes.
It's a complete set!
A shirt, trousers, and little leather shoes that you can only find in department stores.
"We pooled our money to buy it. Grandma said that we didn't need to send it to each other individually; it would be better to pool our money and prepare something nice."
I bought the shoes according to the shoe pattern my grandma gave me.
"Shura, try these on. If they don't fit, I'll take them to exchange. I also have clothes and pants that you can exchange." The older sister-in-law urged Yao Shura to change and show everyone.
Yao Shula was surrounded by everyone as she changed into a new outfit.
A peach-pink long-sleeved blazer with a tailored collar, fitted at the waist, paired with black trousers and black mid-heeled leather shoes…
"It fits perfectly! Not too big at all, it's just the right size. It will look even better with a white shirt underneath when it gets cooler."
I told you, my judgment was never wrong.
"It will be just the right time to wear it in September," the sister-in-law said with satisfaction.
"Yes, they look good! These clothes are getting better and better these days, Shura, don't wear clothes that are either blue or gray every day."
"You're such a wonderful age! Dressing in bright colors makes you look like a flower bud," the second sister-in-law chimed in.
“That’s right, dress nicely. Shura is beautiful, she looks good in anything!” Third Sister-in-law chimed in.
"This...it's too much trouble for my sisters-in-law and eldest sister!" Yao Shula said a little embarrassed.
A set like this from a department store must be expensive; those little leather shoes alone cost twenty-eight yuan.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, Shura. Bring your younger siblings over more often and chat with us!" Fourth Sister-in-law said with a smile.
"Shura, you're smarter than all of us!"
If it weren't for you, I'd still be working like a slave at Old Zhang's house!
"If anything happens in the future, just tell me. I'll support whatever you do!" Yao Chunian smiled at Yao Shula.
"Your aunt also contributed to the cost of the clothes and shoes!" Grandma Yao reminded her from the side.
Yao Shula immediately said that she would definitely go and thank her aunt later.
After seeing Yao Shula change her clothes and shoes, the sisters-in-law smiled and left Grandma Yao's house.
Only then did Miao Yamin take the contents of her cloth bag out.
"Shura, I asked my mom to buy this for you. Didn't my mom go to the provincial capital a while ago?"
I bought you a bra, and I also bought you two.
It's better than the kind sold in department stores. Those in department stores... are just a few strips of cloth, not only are they tight, but they're also ugly!
"This looks good, and it's much more comfortable to wear than those!" Miao Yamin whispered to Yao Shula, gesturing to herself.
Yao Shula fell in love with it at first sight.
It sells better than the department store in the county. Yao Shula doesn't usually like to wear those kinds of clothes; she'd rather wear a tank top than a bra.
The underwear that Miao Yamin brought was similar to the bras from later generations, with cups and a shapely appearance.
"Thank you, cousin!" Yao Shula immediately accepted it.
It's only right to reciprocate; I'll just return the favor when Miao Yamin has her birthday.
Grandma Yao watched with a smile the whole time.
After Yao Shula put away the bra and the clothes her sisters-in-law had given her, Grandma Yao took out two ten-yuan bills from her pocket and stuffed them into Yao Shula's pocket.
“Grandma…” Yao Shula was a little surprised.
"Here you go! Buy some nice fabric, or some scarves and hair clips, or maybe some face cream!"
You're a grown woman; what girl your age doesn't dress herself up beautifully?
You have to take care of your younger siblings, but you can't neglect yourself.
Grandma gave it to you, you can just keep it.
"Don't worry, this money... I got it all from your dad. Grandma hasn't touched her own money!" Grandma Yao smiled and patted Yao Shula's hand.
Yao Shula smiled too.
In short, Yao Shula was very happy to celebrate her birthday at Lao Yao's house. Xiao Tiantian was right, many people like her!
...
What Yao Shula didn't expect was that after finishing lunch and returning home, there was actually a two-wheeled vehicle in her own house!
"Big sister, we're going to celebrate your birthday tonight!" Little Tiantian waved her little hand, looking like she was in charge.
