Chapter 294 The Fruit Is Ripe
Lei Jingwu was clearly taken aback. What did Yao Shula mean? What did she mean by saying that she could accept talking to five people at once, but not talking to one person five times?
“This…” Lei Jingwu wanted to ask Yao Shula if she had any deeper understanding of this issue.
Xiao Tian interrupted Lei Jingwu.
"Big sister is right! Absolutely right! From now on, I'll date five at a time!"
Little Tiantian still didn't understand what Yao Shula meant.
Yao Shula chuckled and pushed Xiao Tiantian, who was still clinging to her, away.
"Go over there and go play with your brother Shuli!"
After saying that, he looked at Lei Jingwu.
"What? Is it hard to understand?"
"Uh, that's easy to understand, you're absolutely right!" Lei Jingwu immediately put on a serious and earnest expression.
Yao Shula nodded; what she said was indeed correct.
"It's okay, it's okay if you don't understand. Go back and think about it slowly, and you'll figure it out eventually."
"You'll still be in Yun County tomorrow, right? What would you like to eat? I'll cook it for you at noon!" Yao Shula asked with a smile.
Lei Jingwu quickly suggested two simple dishes that he would love to make, and that Xiao Tiantian and Yao Shula would also definitely enjoy.
Yao Shula said she would definitely make sure Lei Jingwu had lunch tomorrow.
The two chatted casually about other topics, mostly everyday matters and casual conversations.
The two were having a pleasant conversation when Xiaotian and Yao Shuli started arguing inside the room, and the argument was getting louder and louder.
Lei Jingwu quickly stood up and went over to take a look.
Yao Shula tugged at Lei Jingwu, telling him not to interfere.
"Don't actually start arguing, it wouldn't be good if it damaged the relationship between the two brothers." Lei Jingwu still wanted to persuade them.
Yao Shula shook her head.
"Don't worry about it! Disagreements among children are mostly due to the lack of virtue in the elderly!"
Lei Jingwu...
Did you insult yourself with your words? It doesn't seem so. Yao Shula is just the older sister. Although there's a saying that an elder sister is like a mother, she doesn't count as part of the older generation.
That's what they're cursing—their damned father!
As soon as Yao Shula uttered those two sentences, the two people arguing inside the room noticeably lowered their voices.
Lei Jingwu seemed to understand something, and he sat down slowly and deliberately.
Seeing that no one was watching them, Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian seemed to raise their voices a little more...
"Shura, if they get into a huge fight, would you try to break them up?" Lei Jingwu asked deliberately.
Yao Shula chuckled.
"Break up a fight? Why should we break up a fight? It would be better if the two of them started fighting!"
"If they both start fighting, I can only give them both a fair share of the blame. Do you expect me to break them up? Do you think I have the time to break up fights?" Yao Shula's voice was neither loud nor soft.
The two people arguing inside quieted down considerably.
"That's not right! There has to be a right and a wrong! How can we blame both equally?" Lei Jingwu said insincerely.
"Right or wrong? If the older brother argues with the younger brother, and the younger brother goes against the older brother, is that right?"
I don't care about right or wrong. In my opinion, it's definitely not a good thing for these two to start arguing in front of me.
If they've been arguing like this since they were kids, they'll definitely fight when they grow up!
I have only one principle: if they dare to argue, I dare to hit them. No matter who it is, I'll give them a few whacks on the butt.
"Just use a feather duster to beat it, and make sure the feathers come off!" Yao Shula said unhurriedly.
As soon as Yao Shula finished speaking, Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian quickly came out of their rooms.
The two stood hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, smiling broadly in front of Yao Shula, looking nothing like they had just finished arguing in the house.
"Big sister, we didn't quarrel!" Yao Shuli said with a smile.
“Yes, Brother Shuli is teaching me how to be a good person. We were just talking a little too loudly,” Xiao Tiantian quickly added.
Yao Shula glanced at the two tightly clasped hands and hummed in agreement.
"It's good that you two didn't fight! If you ever feel like fighting, just let me know and I'll prepare the feather duster in advance."
It seems like there are hardly any feathers left on the feather duster at home. I'll buy a couple more next time I go shopping to keep at home.
Okay, go have fun!
Xiao Tiantian and Yao Shula's faces were practically frozen from smiling.
"Don't worry, big sister, how could we possibly quarrel!"
"That's right! We're best brothers! We'd do anything for our brothers, we'd never stab them in the back! We'll never argue."
Lei Jingwu looked at the loving couple in surprise.
Yao Shula is amazing! She managed to tame these two rascals so well; she's definitely someone with real skills.
If they can handle these two, they can definitely handle those ungrateful members of the Lei family.
Yes, he's waiting for that day to come.
...
On a snowy day, Yao Shula welcomed the Spring Festival of 1987.
That year's New Year's Eve dinner was at Grandma Zhou's house next door. Miao Yamin, Zhou Pingan, Grandma Zhou, plus Yao Shula with Yao Shuxin and Yao Shuli.
After dinner, we watched the Spring Festival Gala together at Grandma Zhou's house.
Who could blame Miao Yamin for having a television set in her dowry!
Once the New Year was over, we changed from winter clothes to lined jackets, and then to light jackets; time seemed to fly by.
Yao Shula's family couldn't help but feel nervous.
There was no other reason; Yao Shuxin was about to take the college entrance examination, and after several years of hard work, she was finally about to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Not only was Yao Shula worried, but Miao Yamin beside her, Yao Chunian in front of her, and the people at the Yao family's old house also put Yao Shuxin's college entrance examination first.
Grandma Yao would occasionally send Shuxin some wrapped steamed buns, or turtles or crucian carp she caught from the wild ponds in the countryside, to make soup.
Miao Yamin used all her connections, including those of her old colleagues in Pengcheng, to tutor Yao Shuxin.
Yao Chunian asked someone to find dried fruits such as walnuts from various places for Yao Shuxin to eat, based on the principle of "you are what you eat".
Uncle Shu also brought Yao Shuxin some red dates and longan, which are good for replenishing qi and blood.
In short, everyone is showing their concern for Yao Shuxin in their own way.
Yao Shula has a thorough understanding of this year's college entrance examination information.
The college entrance examination is now divided into humanities and social sciences and science and engineering.
The total score for science and engineering majors is 710 points. The exam subjects are: Chinese (120 points), Mathematics (120 points), English (100 points), Politics (100 points), Physics (100 points), Chemistry (100 points), and Biology (70 points).
The total score for the humanities subject is 640 points. The exam subjects are Chinese (120 points), Mathematics (120 points), English (100 points), Politics (100 points), Geography (100 points), and History (100 points).
Humanities students take one less exam than science and engineering students.
Yao Shuxin chose science and engineering.
As for the universities she applied to, Yao Shuxin said that she wanted to study medicine and applied to universities in Shanghai.
Yao Shula respected Yao Shuxin's opinion.
It seems this girl hasn't forgotten what Xiaotian and the others said about using very thick needles to give people acupuncture...
July arrived quickly, and the college entrance examination was just around the corner. Yao Shula had already brought Yao Shuxin home.
